Bahrain will join the other nations today in celebrating the International Day of Charity, which is observed annually on the 5th of September. Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) Secretary-General Dr Mustafa Al-Sayyed hailed Bahrain’s strides in promoting the charity and giving full priority to citizens in all national programs, led by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa.

He paid tribute to HM the King, hailing royal directives to step up RHF efforts to bolster community ties, contribute to the sustainable development, and build an inclusive society. Dr Al-Sayyed praised the support of the Government, chaired by HRH Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa, hailing the follow-up of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister.

He also praised the efforts exerted by HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa, HM the King’s Representative for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs, National Security Advisor, and RHF board of trustees’ chairman.
