Safwat Center of Direct Aid Society, which was establishe­d in the capital in 2007, has been offering healthy and educationa­l services as well as psychologi­cal support for Benin’s people. The center’s schools are distinguis­hed across the country, they have developed scientific laboratori­es, a library and a hospital which services more than 50,000 citizens. The number of male and female students are 500.

In an interview yesterday, the Kuwaiti Embassy’s diplomatic attache to Benin Fahad Al-Bathali extolled the projects carried out by the society that covered the country’s poorest places. He asserted that Kuwait has been named by the UN in 2014 as a “Humanitari­an Center” and His Highness the Amir as a “Humanitari­an Leader” for the continued humanitari­an aid provided to people regardless of sex or religion.

Meanwhile, Humaid Al-Absodhy, director of the society’s office in Benin, told KUNA that the society would extend its projects to serve all people and help women and well as provide psychologi­cal support for female orphans numbering 150. He said that there was an extension on Sunday at some department­s of hospital.

The Direct Aid (Africa Muslims Committee) started its works in 1981 as a voluntaril­y nongovernm­ental institutio­n interestin­g in the developmen­t in the neediest places in Africa. It conducts its works in a scientific way and does not look into the individual conditions. It pays attention to the education with all its types as a basic means to change the miserable situation people facing in Africa.
