MoSA's debt relief initiative eases the burden on thousands of Kuwaitis
'These funds were carefully studied according to specific terms and criteria by six technical and legal committees, comprising representatives from the ministries of Interior, Justice, Social Affairs and Endowments, and Zakat House. A total of 9,119 files have been reviewed since the campaign's launch, in a meticulous evaluation process that included a separate study of each case to ensure eligibility and prevent any exploitation, in line with the principle of fairness in aid distribution,' it elaborated. The ministry confirmed that the campaign will only benefit indebted citizens detained in correctional institutions or those with enforcement cases, excluding those who benefited from the first and second campaigns in 2023 and 2024.
'This aim is to expand the beneficiary base and reach the most needy groups,' it added. It also emphasized that the campaign embodies Kuwait's humanitarian approach to support struggling groups and preserve their dignity, and reflects the spirit of national solidarity and cooperation between the government and charitable sectors. It concluded its statement by affirming its commitment to transparency and providing communication channels with citizens by responding to their inquiries through the Sahel application, and enabling applicants to follow up their files and view their details electronically.
