ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has launched a major humanitarian initiative to distribute 22,000 winter kits across Pakistan as part of its annual winter support program for vulnerable communities, the charity announced on Monday.
The initiative was launched at an event at the Saudi embassy in Islamabad, which was attended by Pakistan’s Minister for Religious Affairs Sardar Muhammad Yousuf and Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki.
These winter kits will cater to over 150,000 residents of 26 coldest districts in Pakistan, according to KSrelief. Each kit includes two polyester quilts, a set of warm shawls for men and women, and warm clothing for both children and adults.
Speaking at the ceremony, Yousaf thanked Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for expressing their unconditional love for the Pakistani people through this project.
“King Salman Relief Center is active all around the world in humanitarian activities, including Pakistan,” the minister said. “These kinds of measures are bringing the people of two countries further close.”
