I was extremely impressed at how quickly the Kuwait Red Crescent Society were able to mobilize and fly out to Lebanon after the explosion with aid. To give you an idea of how fast, the explosion had taken place at around 6PM and by early next morning, the Kuwait Red Crescent Society were already in Lebanon with their supplies and team. That’s just over 12 hours later! You can see how they’re helping right now by checking out their Instagram account @k.r.c.s which they’re fairly active on.
But, more importantly, the Kuwait Red Crescent Society have also set up a Lebanon Relief Campaign to help the people who were affected by the explosion. Your donation can help provide them with medical supplies, other necessities, and accommodation. For more information and to donate, click here.

It is lead by the greatest Dr.Hilal Al Sayer.. I had the privilege to work with him & his wife on a multiple of projects! Amazing couple!
The organisation is great. I remember back in the day – when my friends and I worked in the hospitals with beaten, abused and raped maids (if which there were many and new ones being added every day), the red crescent were the only Kuwaitis actively getting involved and working on behalf of those poor women. NO other organisation, no matter how trendy or ig worthy, were actually doing anything. I have nothing but respect for the organisation and the individuals that work within it.
