values and culture. Based on the principles and values that the Kuwaiti

the Red Crescent Society was founded.
Kuwait has been and will continue to be a permanent donor through
its various local institutions, especially the Kuwaiti Red Crescent, on the
Arab and Islamic levels, and even on humanity as a whole.
The aim of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society is to achieve the
objectives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red
Crescent in Kuwait and abroad, to provide assistance, first aid and
rescue from any crisis caused by natural or human disasters, to provide
assistance and protection to prisoners of war and individuals and to
