Since its establishment in May 2015 by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, KSrelief has delivered 172 aid projects to 33 nations on four continents and with cooperation from 98 humanitarian partners. The total monetary value of these projects is $680,674,206.
Executive projects to date have covered food security, shelter, camp coordination and management, education, protection, early recovery, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, emergency communications, logistics and coordination and other vital support for a variety of humanitarian operations.
KSrelief's mission stems from the Kingdom's leading global humanitarian role in addressing human suffering by helping those most in need.
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, inaugurated KSrelief with the following statement: “Islam teaches us that we are responsible for helping the afflicted and the poor, and that we must also attempt to preserve human life and dignity whenever possible. We hereby announce the establishment of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, dedicated to coordinating and providing international relief to crisis-afflicted communities, alleviating suffering and providing the essentials to allow people everywhere to live good lives." King Salman bin Abdulaziz allocated the additional sum of one billion Saudi Riyals to support the humanitarian needs of the Yemeni people. "Our primary goal,” he said, “is to operate this center solely upon the basis of humanitarian need and without any other motive."
