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.[1]
Services
Disaster Response Emergency Fund
Originally designed to respond to small- and medium-sized disasters, the fund has evolved to include support for anticipatory action.[2] The fund provides an efficient, fast, transparent, and localized way of getting funding directly to local humanitarian actors.[3]
First Aid Training
Workers from the KRCS frequently attend conventions and public gatherings to teach the public about common first aid practices.
The society was formally founded on January 10, 1966.[1] Then, the society applied to the International Committee for recognition on December 28, 1967, and was recognized officially on June 6, 1968.[4]
In 2014, the Kuwait Red Crescent Society sent aid, including medical and food supplies, to Gaza.[5]
