Initiative continues humanitarian mission launched in 2009

He said the campaign represents a lifeline for these children and reflects the SCI’s commitment to providing them with specialised medical support, particularly in countries in need of such initiatives. He added that the humanitarian work led by the United Arab Emirates focuses on creating a direct impact on patients’ lives and alleviating their suffering.

Orphan care home inaugurated and food baskets distributed

He added that the visit programme also included the inauguration of Dar Al Rahma Orphan Care Home in the Dubail Sadar Tangail area, which includes a mosque as well as residential and educational facilities, helping to provide a dignified life for orphaned children and support their educational and social stability.

The delegation also distributed 100 food baskets containing essential supplies to meet the daily needs of beneficiaries.
