Kuwait Society for the Handicapped sponsors charity bazaar at Zahra Mall
KUWAIT: In support of the Kuwait Society for the Handicapped (KSH), Zahra Mall held a ‘charity bazaar’ fundraiser in memory of the late Moudhi Al-Sultan - one of the society’s founders and prominent Kuwaiti philanthropist who organized more than 30 charity bazaars for the society’s benefit in her lifetime. In commemoration of Sultan’s efforts, KSH is launching a transformation campaign to expand and develop its services. The charity bazaar was held yesterday from 10 am - 9 pm at Zahra Mall and hosted a variety of vendors.
Munira Khaled Al-Mutawa, Chair of Kuwait Society for the Handicapped, stated that for 48 years, KSH has been providing integrated clinical and educational support to hundreds of severely disabled individuals aged 5 - 18 of all nationalities free of charge at its three locations in Hawally, Ahmadi and Jahra. In the near future, KSH will be expanding its services to focus on vocational rehabilitation training in a new facility that is currently under construction in Granata. Mutawa added, ever since its establishment, KSH has been evolving to become more supportive of the disabled community in Kuwait and this fundraiser marks the commencement of a new era for development and expansion.
The event was attended by the society’s delegates and board members. It also included interactive displays of the honorable life of Moodhi Al-Sultan and her connection to the society. The event hosted a number of KSH’s children who conducted a variety of live artistic demonstrations such as Japanese weaving (Saori), artworks demonstration (acrylic painting), recycling and glass engraving activities. All proceeds gathered by Zahra Mall from the charity bazaar will be directed to the society’s renovation program. All activities were open to the public free of charge.
