(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, Feb 27 (KUNA) -- Tanzanian Vice President Samia Hassan Tuesday heaped praise on Kuwait for its profound contributions towards humanitarian causes, saying she was grateful for Kuwait as a benefactor to her country.
Hassan's remarks came during a donation drive organized by Kuwait's embassy in the African nation to raise funds for medical aid, read a statement by the Kuwaiti mission.
The Tanzanian official pointed out that the aid has been allocated for disabled people and others who desperately need it, the statement noted.
Meanwhile, Kuwait's ambassador to Tanzania Jassim Najem revealed that his country is financing a USD 500,000 aid program for the disabled, particularly, people suffering from Albinism.
He went on to say that Kuwaiti aid will continue to pour into Tanzania, in yet another altruistic endeavor that gives much credence to the country's UN-bestowed moniker of "humanitarian center." (end) kna.nam
