Oum Qais was born in 1925, the third
child of nine siblings. As far as
one can remember, Oum Qais has
always been involved in some kind of
charity work and her dedication to
helping people is well known in
Kuwait. It was certainly engrained
in her since childhood, when aiding
the less fortunate was a way of
life, and supporting the poor was a
natural response to the deeply
rooted religious beliefs of the
society in which she lived, first
within her family, and later in her
husband's family. Both merchant
families were very generous and
provided donations to various causes
in the Kuwait community, and also
various communities in the Arab
world.
