Kuwait Credit Bank (formerly the Kuwait Credit and Savings Bank) said
here on Saturday it has hammered out a deal with the Public Authority
for Special Needs Affairs to offer people with disability better
benefits for a decent life.
Directors-general of the bank and the authority Salah Al-Modhaf
The deal was signed by the directors-general of the bank and the authority Salah Al-Modhaf and Tareq Al-Shatti respectively.
Under
the agreement, people with disabilities can get several advantages and
benefits, primarily two maximum payments of KD 20,000 if the family has
more than one handicapped person, Salah Al-Modhaf said in a press
statement.
He voiced pleasure that the agreement would see the light
just a couple of weeks ahead of world celebrations marking the
International Day of People with Disability, which falls on December 3.
The
recent benefits to people with disability reflect the Kuwaiti
government's unshakable and enduring commitment to providing people with
special needs with all requirements for a decent life.
In this
context, Al-Modhaf pointed to instructions to the staff of all branches
of the Kuwait Credit Bank to answer the needs of all people with special
needs in a fast and reliable manner.
The International Day of People
with Disability is an international observance promoted by the United
Nations since 1992. It has been celebrated with varying degrees of
success around the planet.
The observance of the Day aims to promote
an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the
dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also
seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration
of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social,
economic and cultural life.
It was originally called "International Day of Disabled Persons".
