International Charity Organisation Launches AED 8 Million Development Projects In Syria To Support Affected Communities

The International Charity Organisation (ICO) has unveiled a series of development, service, and relief initiatives in Syria, valued at AED 8 million. These efforts are part of ICO's ongoing commitment to aid communities impacted by the conflict. The projects focus on essential needs such as education, water access, and healthcare.

Dr. Khaled Abdul Wahab Al Khaja, Secretary-General of ICO, will lead a delegation to Syria. He highlighted that the projects include building and repairing schools and mosques, drilling wells for clean water, and supporting orphans and disadvantaged families. Additionally, healthcare services and food distribution are key components of these initiatives.

These efforts align with ICO's mission to promote sustainable development and enhance living standards. Dr. Al Khaja emphasised the importance of ensuring donations are used effectively to make a tangible difference in beneficiaries' lives. The organisation is committed to overseeing its projects directly on the ground.

The visit reflects the UAE's dedication to humanitarian causes under its wise leadership. Dr. Al Khaja expressed gratitude for the support from H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ajman. Contributions from UAE philanthropists play a crucial role in the success of ICO's initiatives.

ICO has already commenced several projects in Syria, including maintaining wells, schools, and mosques. Food aid programs are also underway to ensure assistance reaches thousands of families in need across affected regions.

The organisation remains focused on delivering direct impact through its projects by closely monitoring their implementation. This approach ensures that resources are channelled appropriately to benefit those most in need.

Dr. Al Khaja reiterated that these initiatives embody the UAE’s approach to supporting global humanitarian efforts while fostering sustainable development within affected communities.
