Khaberni - The Ministry of Social Affairs in the State of Kuwait has announced the addition of a new type of aid to the central aid system, as part of its commitment to organize charitable work and enhance the social support umbrella for the deserving categories.
The Ministry explained in a circular addressed to the board members of charitable societies and foundations that the new case includes the unmarried Kuwaiti woman, «provided that she is 30 years of age or older, and that her father has deceased», indicating that the implementation of this case will currently be on a trial basis, with a view to considering its adoption as a permanent basic case among the approved aid cases if its effectiveness is proven.
