The Establishment and Activities of The Kuwait Women's Voluntary Association for Community Service

The volunteer popular committees had been established abroad following the occupation of the State of Kuwait by the brutal Iraqi forces during the past Iraqi regime. They were driven by the national and self-motivation that embodied the love of Kuwaiti soil and nation, the insistence to liberate the Kuwaiti land and to return to their homeland. Through this assertion, Her Excellency the wife of the Crown Prince Sheikha Latifa AI-Fahd AI-Salem AI-Sabah, sees the necessity to combine all the committees that have been established abroad during the occupation period in one structure that embody this stage. Because there were some committees that have been established in the homeland during the same period, all the committees were unified after liberation under one title:
