Kuwait’s Justice Ministry has raised KD 11.492 million (around USD 37.5 million) through its debt relief campaign by 10 a.m. on the second day. The initiative helps financially distressed citizens settle debts during Ramadan and has been extended until midnight Tuesday for wider participation.
The ministry encouraged individuals, companies, banks, and institutions to contribute, ensuring payments go directly through the General Administration of Execution under approved regulations. Donors can give via an online link, QR code, the “Sahel” government app, or by submitting cheques at the administration’s headquarters.
Several organizations announced contributions, including Kuwait Zakat House and Awqaf Secretariat with KD 500,000 each, Kuwait Red Crescent Society with KD 200,000, and various charities contributing smaller amounts. These donations support the ministry’s goal of providing transparent and fair assistance.
Eligibility requires an active enforcement file as of March 12, and donations are capped at KD 10,000 per debtor. These measures ensure the debt relief campaign reaches those who need it most and maintains fairness in distribution.
The ministry emphasized that the initiative exemplifies collaboration between the government, financial institutions, and the public. By participating, citizens and organizations play a role in easing financial burdens during the holy month.
Officials also highlighted that this campaign demonstrates the importance of community engagement in government programs. Transparency, accountability, and efficient processing remain central to the debt relief campaign, helping maintain public trust while providing meaningful support.
The Justice Ministry continues to monitor contributions and encourages more participation to maximize the campaign’s impact. The initiative reflects Kuwait’s commitment to social welfare and the welfare of financially vulnerable citizens.
