In the first three months of this year, Sharjah Charity International (SCI) implemented a policy approved by the Board of Directors and provided monthly financial assistance totaling Dhs6.7 million, benefiting 4,107 beneficiaries.

The new policy of allocation comes in accordance with the directives of His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.

The Association's Executive Director Abdullah Sultan Bin Khadim confirmed that the Association relies on the donations of benefactors and their charitable contributions to support deserving families, as it keeps updated on many cases of widows, orphans, needy families, and divorced women.

He went on to say that January had the highest monthly expenses at Dhs1.7 million, followed by Dhs1.6 million in February, Dhs1.6 million in March, and Dhs1.649 million in April. The highest monthly aid expenses were Dhs1.618 million in April.
