To further emphasize their dedication to the service of all in need, the leadership of Saudi Arabia established the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre; its purpose is to provide and monitor the delivery of humanitarian aid and relief to those in need outside of the Kingdom’s borders.
The centre was inaugurated on 13 May 2015 under the high patronage and guidance of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, may God bless him. The centre’s activities are founded upon noble fundamental humanitarian goals and principles.”

KSrelief’s 119 humanitarian partners include UN member agencies as well as many other international and national NGOs. The main project sectors served by the centre are: Food Security, Health, (with special focus on Women and Children), Nutrition, Water and Sanitation and Education, along with some special projects – one of which provides rehabilitation services for former child soldiers in Yemen.”
