Today Monday, the Palestinian Society for the Welfare of the Families of the Disabled launched a project to empower women economically affected by the recent Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, funded by the Kuwait Red Crescent Society.

The President of the Assembly's Governing Council said that the project was aimed at enabling 10 economically disadvantaged women effected by the Gaza Strip aggression by financing small-scale projects to alleviate human and economic suffering and combat their poverty, having lost their livelihoods during the aggression, which had led to the destruction of thousands of homes and various economic installations.

The project would include training for women and their families in the labor market to support their families. The first phase of the project would include training for women beneficiaries in sewing, design, machine handling and management skills for three months, thereby training them in small-scale enterprise management and financial literacy.

Hiba Idwan, expressed her thanks to the Secretary-General of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, Maha Burgess, who funded the project, did not hesitate to adopt the project, and provided all the necessary facilities for its implementation in a way that reflected the depth of her humanity and adopted the issues of marginalized groups of women victims of war and economic problems everywhere, particularly in Palestine.
