The UAE Embassy in Beirut signed a cooperation agreement to launch an orphan support program organized by the Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, and Sharjah Charity International, in the presence of Hamad Saeed Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to Lebanon.
The agreement was signed by the Humanitarian and Development Affairs Mission and the Dar Al Fatwa Zakat Fund in Lebanon, represented by Sheikh Zuhair Kibbe, Director-General of Dar Al Fatwa.
The program is part of the UAE’s role in supporting Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian orphans in Lebanon, and reflects its humanitarian goal to provide them with the best living conditions.
The ERC will adopt 200 orphans during the programme’s first phase while Sharjah Charity International will sponsor another 1,401.
Al Shamsi said that the aim of the agreement is to support and care for orphans, by monitoring their health, social and psychological conditions.
