Kuwait Red Crescent Society
The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (Arabic: جمعية الهلال الأحمر الكويت, romanized: Jamʻīyat al-Hilāl al-Aḥmar al-Kuwayt) is a branch of the international Red Crescent Society. It was established on January 10, 1966.
Originally designed to respond to small- and medium-sized disasters, the fund has evolved to include support for anticipatory action. The fund provides an efficient, fast, transparent, and localized way of getting funding directly to local humanitarian actors.
Workers from the KRCS frequently attend conventions and public gatherings to teach the public about common first aid practices.
The KRCS builds WASH infrastructure such as toilets and community water pumps. They also repair or build sewage systems, water storage and water treatment facilities.
The society was formally founded on January 10, 1966. Then, the society applied to the International Committee for recognition on December 28, 1967, and was recognized officially on June 6, 1968.
In 1990, the society responded to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait by temporarily relocating its headquarters to Bahrain. The society trained around 250 volunteers to assist with relief efforts. Its volunteers helped transport wounded people, delivered aid to hospitals and refugee camps, and worked in hospitals and bakeries.
In 2014, the Kuwait Red Crescent Society sent aid, including medical and food supplies, to Gaza.
