He added, "At Nama, we are keen to ensure that our efforts are not limited to emergency relief alone, but rather strive to transform into sustainable development projects that achieve long-term impact and support human dignity."
Al-Shammari continued, "We work in accordance with Nama's vision, which is based on enhancing human dignity and achieving sustainability in giving. We renew our gratitude to our wise leadership, the ministries of state, and the philanthropists in Kuwait who transform their donations into a tangible impact that changes the lives of thousands around the world."
