Kuwait has opened a housing project in Mongolia for the victims of the floods in the western province of Bayan-Ulgii, said a statement Wednesday. In the Muslim majority Bayan-Ulgii province, the USD 274,538 Fareej Al-Kuwait (Kuwait’s neighborhood) project was opened in the presence of Kuwaiti Ambassador to Mongolia Khaled Al-Fadhli.

In a statement by the Kuwaiti Embassy, Ambassador Al-Fadhli said that the project consisted of 35 housing units, a Mosque, a medical facility, and a recreational park for children.

Previously, Kuwait’s Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs provided around USD 60,000 to construct wells for drinking water and electricity in the flood-stricken areas. Other Kuwaiti charitable societies provided a sum of USD 81,000 to the Kuwaiti embassy last February as part of the winter assistance initiative to Mongolia.
