Sharjah establishes humanitarian foundation to protect children

Sharjah has launched the Khalid Bin Sultan Al Qasimi Humanitarian Foundation, a new organisation dedicated to protecting children affected by conflicts, natural disasters and poverty. Named after the late son of Sharjah ruler Sheikh Dr Sultan Al Qasimi and Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, the foundation aims to uphold his vision of a safer world for children.

Sheikha Jawaher announced the foundation's launch during the ‘Direct Line’ programme on Sharjah Radio, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding children to secure the future of humanity.

She said, "Saving one child means safeguarding entire communities and, by extension, the future of humanity. Children are the embodiment of hope and the leaders of tomorrow."

This initiative comes amid the ongoing war in Gaza, where nearly 15,000 children have died since October 7 last year, as reported by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Save the Children estimates that up to 21,000 children may be separated from their families or missing.

The Khalid Bin Sultan Al Qasimi Humanitarian Foundation will work with local entities, communities and global humanitarian organisations to protect children's rights in vulnerable areas worldwide.
