In line with the country’s efforts to mitigate the risks of the virus, which are led by HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister and following the directives of HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian and Youth Affairs, National Security Advisor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Humanitarian Foundation, the Campaign is now launched under the theme of “There is Good in Us” and is aimed at raising donations to support people and families impacted by the virus.
