KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 (Bernama) -- Sharjah Deputy Ruler and Sharjah Media Council Chairman, Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, recently laid the foundation stone for Al Reeh Al Mursala Village in Sri Lanka’s Puttalam region, marking a major milestone in Sharjah’s ongoing global humanitarian efforts.
The project, launched as part of a wider humanitarian initiative, includes the construction of 50 homes, a mosque that accommodates 200 worshippers, a healthcare centre, and various essential service facilities designed to support the wellbeing of the local community.
A fully equipped mobile medical clinic has also been inaugurated, aiming at delivering emergency medical services and conducting routine health screenings. It will serve Al Reeh Al Mursala residents and neighbouring villages, significantly improving access to healthcare in remote and underserved areas.
According to a statement, this initiative is supported by the Al Reeh Al Mursala programme, developed and broadcast by the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority (SBA) in partnership with Sharjah Charity International (SCI).
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed affirmed that the charitable projects implemented in Sri Lanka are a result of this strong collaboration and are a continuation of Sharjah’s commitment to spreading humanitarian values and supporting those in need globally.
He also highlighted that these efforts reflect the directives and vision of Sharjah Supreme Council Member and Ruler, Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, who continuously encourages acts of compassion and extending support to vulnerable communities.
Since its launch 14 years ago, Al Reeh Al Mursala has raised approximately 67 million Emirati dirhams, supporting humanitarian projects in over 110 countries. (100 Emirati Dirham = RM114.92)
Funded initiatives include the Little Hearts Campaign, eye surgeries, orphan sponsorships, construction of mosques and schools, medical centres, water wells, and a wide range of income-generating programmes.
