About Namaa

Historical brief

- A social charitable institution that was established in 1977 AD and is affiliated with the Social Reform Society of Kuwait. It expanded in the regions of the governorates under the name “Zakat Committees” and took care of providing humanitarian aid to those in need.

- It was restructured in 2014 under the name “Nama for Zakat and Charity” with central management by transforming the zakat committees into branches, and diversified in providing aid and charitable projects. The name was changed in 2017 to “Nama for Zakat and Community Development” with the continuation of its various projects.

- Youth leaders joined the lines in 2020, forming an extension of the expertise of leading institutions in the fields of relief and development work. This emerged in the face of the Corona pandemic and battling its effects with distinguished qualitative cooperation that resulted in partnerships with state institutions and systems, as well as with civil society institutions and others, in order to enhance the pioneering role of our beloved country, “Kuwait of Humanity.”

- With the beginning of 2021 AD, we seek to build and develop an institutional system concerned with community development in an innovative, civilized form to build humanity through bridges of partnerships and alliances with local, regional and global humanitarian organizations, through a work atmosphere that adheres to professional principles and ethical values. It is a pioneering model in consolidating the concept of the third sector and complementing the public sector (first) and the private sector (second), to achieve the goals of sustainable development 2030 and in line with the vision of the State of Kuwait 2035.
