The Sharjah Charity International (SCI) has offered housing support to 5,685 individuals at a cost of AED9.1 million ($2.48 million) in the first half of this year.

The support included restoring and furnishing a number of underprivileged people's houses and paying rental bills for others who lapsed on payment so that they might have a decent life, feel secure in their house, and sustain their family's solidarity, reported Emirates News Agency WAM.

Abdullah Sultan bin Khadim, SCI Executive Director, has stated that Sharjah Charity International will provide aid and support to anyone in need and encourages those in need to contact the call centre directly.
