Our Story
Ours is a story woven by fate in which events have been knitted by stitching strands of inability and enablement, ignorance with awareness, and helpless with hopefulness.
Ours is a story which has discarded its own plot, deemed unsuitable to people with disability. Just to replace it with plot that caters care from which they had been deprived, and replaces their families’ lack of with ample
Ours is a story that gathered five founders whom expertise was integrated and efforts combined resulting in abundant caregiving to people of disability in a way that does not alleviate conditions but rather redefines them in their favour.
Each lead and individual path from a unique origin. Yet, their intentions guided them to the same destination. Hence a new start point was founded. Thereon, and in unison, a new path was created; struck by determination, paved with hope, and implanted to be sustainably harvested by those who follow.

Pioneers who have built with determination the country’s first of its kind charitable organization:

As such cases were in need of caregiving that reached beyond clinical practices to cover aspects such as psychology, education, social integration, tutelage, and leisure activities

Our beginnings
In the beginning, special needs’ ecosystem was vastly different from its current state. Dedicated entities were no where are numerous or specialized. At that time, Kuwait’s sole caregiver to people with disabilities were social care hostels, managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor.
With this in mind, KSH was founded by an assembly of a distinguished formation of volunteers which understood the magnitude of responsibility at hand. Accordingly, these volunteers took heed in serving people with disabilities in a manner which blended cultural traits of giving, altruistic volunteering spirit, fundraising, and nonprofit organizational work.
Our First Steps
Over half of a century ago, we commenced work from an old, humble house. Yet, our volunteers determination surpassed its capacity and borders. Our volunteers understood the urgency of catering to people with disabilities’ needs for physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and caregiving. This sense of responsibility was further extended to cover their families with required support and awareness.
Launch
KSH was launched in 1971 by caregiving to 30 children with disabilities. Primary goal was to integrate and extend governmental organizations’ coverage scope by founding a charitable non-governmental society to cater for with multiple and acute cases of disabilities, thus granting them hope, instilling self-trust, and aiding social integration.
KSH Founding initiative trace back to distinguished ladies: Dr. Mrs. Muneera Abdul Wahab Al Qatami and Mrs. Muneera Khaled Al Mutawa. Having studied abroad, both had academic acumen and exposure to Foreign development and advancements. United in their desire for national servitude, Ladies were well aware of the challenges facing person with disabilities due to then limitations of available services.
The founding initiative had been well received by many. At the forefront was Mr. Abdul Rahman Salem Al Atiqi, then Minister of Finance, as well as Mrs. Moudhi Sultan Al Issa. A combined total of 28 foudning members collectively worked on officially instating the society.
