- RIYADH: The Modern Industrial Company (MIC) has signed a cooperation contract with the Disable Children Association (DISCA) to better the lives of handicapped children and the services provided to them through a SR1.5 million campaign called “Their Smile in Your Hands.”
Turki Bin Moammar, MIC’s corporate reputation and trade relation manager, said the company has always cooperated and partnered with governmental and nongovernmental nonprofit establishments to achieve goals and serve society as best as possible.
Bin Moammar confirmed that the present one-year project contract crowns a previous relation between MIC and DISCA. “It’s a campaign with potential for continuity according to the end results we witness,” said Bin Moammar, adding that facilitating equipment, wheelchairs and support equipment is what the project concentrates on.
“According to DISCA, 3,000 children benefited last year from their services and with this cooperation we are hoping to double the number,” he said. The cooperation aims to speed up the waiting list of services offered to disabled children.
Prince Sutlan bin Salman, chairman of DISCA, expressed gratitude for MIC’s generosity. “It is a great reflection of responsibility and belonging,” he said.
