Bahrain Red Crescent supports 4,500 needy families
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 04 - 2020

The Bahrain Red Crescent Society (BRCS) has started delivering in-kind assistance to about four thousand five hundred families in various regions of the Kingdom of Bahrain, where the volunteers of the society work through small teams to deliver this aid following the schedule of underprivileged families recorded on the lists of the Society.
The aid distribution schedule includes 73 regions in the various villages, cities and governorates of the Kingdom of Bahrain, where specific days are allocated for each region, to ensure the smooth distribution process. Bahraini Red Crescent volunteers have been deployed in small teams to distribute aid at different times of the day, wearing masks and gloves, and ensuring social distancing.
Adel Aljar, head of Social services Committee, said that this year the Society decided to deliver in-kind assistance to underprivileged families in their homes, instead of inviting them to come to the Society's headquarters as it used to be in the past years, in line with precautionary measures to prevent coronavirus "COVID-19".
"The distribution of aid in these difficult circumstances comes as further evidence of the Red Crescent Society's endeavor to support the Bahraini community. Reaching more than four thousand homes in various regions of Bahrain is not easy, but we accepted this challenge as part of our active contribution to national efforts to tackle coronavirus." Aljar added.
Ali Kadhem, head of Public Relations Committee & Member Affairs Committee, noted that volunteers will deliver this aid to the most deserving of underprivileged families, and meet their needs while respecting their humanity and dignity, as the volunteers benefit from the experience and vast knowledge of the Red Crescent Society with the requirements of underprivileged for more than forty years. Kadhem also clarified that "Express" company put about 14 cars free of charge at the disposal of the Bahrain Red Crescent Society to distribute the aid.
Mubarak Al Hadi, "BRCS" Director-General /Act General Secretary, praised the volunteers' efforts who work in these difficult circumstances, and adopt the slogan "giving with dignity" for the underprivileged, and thanked "Express" company and all the Society's partners for their support. Al Hadi also urged private companies, institutions, individuals and well-wishers, to come forward and support the Society to help the community's needy segment and succeed the aid program this year as it did in the previous years. — SG
