Nouakchott: A delegation from the International Charity Organisation, led by Dr. Khaled Abdulwahab Al Khaja, Secretary-General of the organisation, is currently visiting Mauritania to inspect and implement 90 charitable projects aimed at benefiting impoverished villages and the most vulnerable segments of the population.
According to Emirates News Agency, the projects include the maintenance, furnishing, and preparation of mosques to welcome worshippers during Ramadan, along with well-digging initiatives and iftar programmes for Muslim villages. These efforts also involve distributing food parcels to families in need, in addition to zakat projects and other seasonal and development initiatives designed to enhance living conditions and promote social stability, in line with the humanitarian values of Ramadan.
Dr. Khaled Abdulwahab Al Khaja stated, “This field visit comes as part of early preparations for the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of giving, compassion and human solidarity.” He emphasized the organisation’s commitment to ensuring that its projects directly address the needs of poor families and that aid reaches its intended beneficiaries efficiently and on time.
He further explained that the visit is part of a series of ongoing field tours conducted by the organisation in several African countries, highlighting the importance of on-the-ground presence and strengthening humanitarian partnerships to ensure project sustainability and achieve long-term developmental impact.
Dr. Al Khaja also acknowledged the crucial role of donors in supporting and sustaining these projects, urging people of goodwill to increase their contributions ahead of Ramadan. He underscored the significant impact of such support in improving the lives of thousands of families and enabling them to perform acts of worship.
