King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) continues its efforts and contributions to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people by providing them with material and logistic support to implement various projects.
The Center's efforts cover the Syrian people's needs on different levels, according to KSRelief’s official Spokesman Dr. Samer al-Jatili.
Jatili told Asharq Al-Awsat that the Center's statistics until the end of July of 2018 indicate that the cost of 39 projects has exceeded $73.5 million in health, education, food security, shelter and nutrition sectors.
He explained that KSRelief has implemented 11 projects in the food security sector, at a total cost of around $31.4 million and 11 other projects in the health sector, worth over $16 million.
The Center also implemented three projects in the water and environmental rehabilitation sector at a cost of $2.5 million, and it allocated $8.8 million to implement six projects related to the shelter sector.
Six projects were also implemented in the education sector, according to Jatili, with the total cost that exceeded $11 million, and one project was implemented for the nutrition sector at a cost of around $3.3 million in addition to another project in several others sectors, worth $360 thousand.
KSRelief is keen to have a strategic and future vision to support the Syrian people and enable them to rely on themselves rather than be dependent on aids in the face of any unexpected circumstances they could face.
In March, it implemented four projects in Daraa, Aleppo, Homs and Hama, worth four million dollars to support 9,000 families, with a total of over 50,000 beneficiaries.
These projects contribute to the economic empowerment of the neediest families, through training them and building their capacity to reach self-sufficiency after the end of the project’s first cycle, which is usually supervised directly by the Center.
The projects also cover agricultural and livestock breeding activities and target the neediest families, residents and displaced people with prior experience.
They contribute to enhancing food security by providing livelihood support through increased agricultural production, protection of productive assets and the distribution of necessary fertilizers.
The latest of these projects was on July 24, when KSRelief financed the implementation of Shelter Response Project for displaced people in Syria.
It includes a series of urgent and sustainable projects that will help local residents and displaced people to settle and secure decent living conditions in their places of residence.
