He added that humanitarian photography possesses the power to transcend borders and cultures, conveying suffering, hope, and stories of change. He noted that the grant enables documentary photographers to produce professional visual content that documents the challenges faced by millions of people in accessing clean water.

Al-Kandari clarified that the grant’s support aligns with Namaa’s projects in the fields of water, sanitation, and environmental hygiene, as well as providing safe water sources to the most vulnerable communities. This approach is grounded in the belief that investment in water is an investment in human health, dignity, and future.

He emphasized that the partnership contributes to enhancing Kuwait’s standing in humanitarian work and highlighting its role as a soft power force in conveying messages of goodwill to the world. He added that Namaa aspires to contribute to building a global visual archive on the water issue, which humanitarian institutions, researchers, and media outlets can utilize.

Al-Kandari stressed that humanitarian work extends beyond providing aid; it encompasses raising awareness, stimulating community participation, and supporting efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
