RIYADH: The Saudi aid agency KSrelief recently launched an education program in Yemen as part of a project to train girls who fell out of the school system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lebanon, KSrelief is funding the Al-Amal Charitable Bakery project, which provides 25,000 bread bags a day to Syrian and Palestinian refugee families and local people in Akkar governorate and Al-Minieh district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Pakistan, the aid agency distributed 1,500 food baskets in flood-affected areas of Sibi and Qalat, Balochistan province, benefiting 10,500 individuals. The initiative is part of its 2023-24 Food Security Support Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception in 2015, KSrelief has implemented 2,670 projects worth more than $6.5 billion in 95 countries and worked with 175 local, regional and international partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
