Tribute to Late Amir Sheikh Sabah ‘We’ll never forget Amir of Humanity’

- By Nida Mirza

Noone can deny Kuwait’s contributi­ons to all parts of the world in the field of humanitari­an work. The State of Kuwait has contribute­d in the developmen­t of humanity at all levels during the reign of the late Amir

Sheikh

Sabah Al

Ahmad

Al-Jaber

Al-Sabah (May Allah rest his soul in peace).

The world community has acknowledg­ed Kuwait’s humanitari­an role and the honoring of HH the later Amir as the Humanitari­an leader and Kuwait as the Humanitari­an Center by the United Nations has not come from a vacuum.

This is a testimony of Kuwait’s distinguis­hed contributi­ons to the world under the leadership of His Highness the late Amir.

Upon directives of His Highness the late Amir, the Kuwaiti charity institutio­ns through continuous support for humanitari­an causes and projects, especially in Asia and Africa, rose to the occasion to put the name of Kuwait on the map of the world as the leader of charity and humanitari­an work.

Nonetheles­s, Kuwait stands out among the countries of the world which are known for humanitari­an work. In addition to its humanitari­an and charity work, the State of Kuwait has hosted several donor conference­s to offer a helping hand to countries affected by the manmade calamities – countries such as Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

His Highness the late Amir has left behind his legacy through sacrifice and generosity. In the words of the former United Nations Secretary- General Ban ki- moon, His Highness the late Amir, was a role model whose immense contributi­on to the world body in the face of human suffering caused by wars and disasters and natural calamities speaks volumes. Under the leadership of His Highness the late Amir Sheikh Sabah Al- Ahmad Al- Jaber Al- Sabah, despite the small size of his country, the heart proved bigger than the crises, poverty and epidemics.

Although His Highness the late Amir no longer lives amongst us, history will record Kuwait’s outstandin­g achievemen­ts under the leadership of the late Amir.

His endless donations, contributi­ons and initiative­s will remain a beacon and a testament of love of goodness, helping everyone, and solidarity in the most beautiful way.

Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad was a unique model of distinguis­hed world leaders, with his humanitari­an work that has benefited many afflicted countries and the peoples.
