Dr. Sarhan: “The MWL Gives a Lot Emphasis on the Development of Africa”

Dr. Hamid Kerhela, The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of the Union of the Comoros, hailed the tremendous efforts of the Muslim World League (MWL) for their aid in his country and extended the appreciation of his government. He especially highlighted the initiatives that Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim al-Issa recommended to the IARCD.

Dr. Kerhela visited the headquarters of IARCD in Jeddah and added:

"The relief efforts of the MWL covered a lot of areas in the Republic of the Comoros, the most important being health care and social development.” He also pointed out to the medical survey recently carried out by the MWL in Comoros, that highlighted all the important aspects of health care and social development and its positive outcomes can already be seen in the country.”

The Foreign Minister reasserted the new Comoros government’s desire to continue this cooperation with the Muslim World League and to carry out more humanitarian projects for the benefit of the Comorian people. He pointed out his country's urgent need for such projects and their meaningful contribution to the country's progress and the necessary support they provide to the people.

The acting Secretary-General of the IARCD elaborated that the meeting with the Comoros Minister focused on the implementation process of several humanitarian projects in the Comoros. He stressed that the Muslim World League will continue providing assistance to those in need around the world without any discrimination based on religion, ethnicity or sect. 

He reasserted that Muslims believe in doing good for everyone, as it is in the hadith of the Prophet: "There is a reward for everyone with a moist liver." The directives of His Excellency the Secretary-General of the MWL in this regard are clear; he gives a lot of emphasis to the development of Africa, which is inflicted with droughts, famines and civil wars. This is reflected in the leading  international humanitarian role of the MWL, which is dedicated to serving International societies and minority groups.

Dr. Abdulaziz Sarhan pointed out that the MWL implemented many humanitarian, health and relief projects in the Comoros the cost of which reached over 10,000,000 Saudi Riyals, benefiting 1,104,969 people. Health care aid reached almost 7,000,000 Saudi Riyals, benefiting 971,333 people. As part of this, the MWL established three polyclinics in different parts of the country for the treatment of Comorian men, women and children. In the field of education, the MWL established six educational institutes 30 years ago, helping thousands of students graduate, many of which now hold important offices within the Union of the Comoros. 

Currently, The MWL is undertaking several projects in the Republic of the Comoros. These include significant building projects, including plans to build a mosque with a budget of 200,000 riyals, an artesian well with a budget of 130,000 riyals and two surface wells with a budget of 20,000 riyals.
