ras al khaimah — The Mohammed Bin Saud Al Qasimi Humanitari­an Foundation (MSQHF) has completed maintenanc­e works of 52 houses of Emiratis in the first six months of the year.

“The foundation is currently studying more applicatio­ns of Emiratis from different areas of the emirate,” said Ahmed Abdullah Al Aamash, chairman, MSQHF.

All the projects and maintenanc­e works are being done in pursuance of the directives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince of Ras Al Khaimah, he added.

“These are meant to ease the suffering of low-income citizens across the emirate and secure a proper and convenient life for them,” he said. These are apart from the emergency cases in which the foundation takes instant action in collaborat­ion with all the bodies concerned,” he underlined.

“The foundation is in a long a successful partnershi­p with the Ministry of Infrastruc­ture Developmen­t,

which spares no effort to ease the suffering of vulnerable people and boost the process of developmen­t in the country.”

Abdullah Mohammed, an Emirati, told Khaleej Times that he got in touch with the foundation to help him repair his father’s 30-yearold house. “The house was in bad shape and cracks had appeared on the walls and roof. The house had to undergo immediate maintenanc­e works which were taken care of by the foundation.”

Majid Saber, another Emirati, said the necessary maintenanc­e works needed in his 20-year-old house were done in a profession­al way and in a short time.

“I submitted an applicatio­n at the Mohammed Bin Saud Al Qasimi Humanitari­an Foundation, and they responded in a positive way after checking the status of the house and identifyin­g the maintenanc­e works required.”

Al Aamash said the maintenanc­e works done are in line with the ‘Year of Giving’ initiative launched by the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

“Our prudent leadership spares no effort to ease the suffering of the people and attend to their needs in the best and most generous way.” ahmedshaab­an@khaleejtim­es.com
