Imagine having all of your bills erased when you wake up. Thanks to a broad new project, more than 2,600 Kuwaitis experienced precisely that. On Wednesday, the Ministry of Social Affairs declared that 2,635 Kuwaiti men and women's debts totaling an astounding KD15.37 million had been paid off. Furthermore, this isn't merely a lucky break. It is a daring step to alleviate the financial constraints that many citizens are facing as part of the third National Campaign for Debtors.

The last payments have already been transferred to the Ministry of Justice, according to Dr. Khaled Al-Ajmi, the Chairman of the Debtors Committee and Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs. They are prepared to resolve any outstanding legal issues. This third campaign? In terms of money and the number of cases handled, it not only equaled but exceeded the preceding ones. This was not a coincidence. Al-Ajmi highlighted the excellent collaboration between the community and government agencies, demonstrating Kuwait's commitment to assisting people in need.

What does this, however, mean for families in Kuwait? In any case, the campaign has resolved 4,345 cases, relieving many people of their financial and legal burdens. Six batches of payments were made, with a KD16,500 cap on each settlement. The procedure was characterized as transparent and equitable. Six specialized committees of governmental and nonprofit entities reviewed over 9,000 applications. Those who owe money to telecom providers and government agencies, or who have already had their debts paid off in previous campaigns, were excluded this time.

Al-Ajmi took a time to express gratitude to the Cabinet, the political leaders, and Dr. Amthal Al-Huwaila, Minister of Social Affairs, Family, and Childhood Affairs. Not to be overlooked are the significant contributors who also contributed. Their support was essential to the success of this effort. But the Ministry is not done yet. Al-Ajmi reiterated their commitment to upholding Kuwait's endearing humanitarian ideals by strengthening social protection and maintaining stable families.
