This year’s programme encompasses diverse countries across regions, including Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Chad, Ethiopia, Kosovo, Albania, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Dr Mohammed Ateeq Al Falahi, Director-General of the Foundation, reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to serving underprivileged communities globally.
