KUWAIT: The Supreme Council for Disabled Affairs announced that it has reached an agreement with the Credit and Savings Bank enabling disabled citizens to obtain housing loans. The council indicated that the agreement was the fruit of strenuous efforts exerted by both the council and the bank to help the disabled, reported Al-Qabas.

According to the terms of the new agreement, after submitting their applications disabled citizens will be able to complete their housing loan transactions at local branches of their banks without the necessity to visit the Public Authority for Housing Welfare (PAHW) and other institutions which the able-bodied are expected to deal with. The council also plans to introduce an integrated strategy to help the disabled to complete transactions related to Kuwait's different government bodies more easily.
