The Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) has launched a new e-service to support the sponsorship of widows and orphans.
Available via the national portal, bahrain.bh, it allows families to send requests for sponsorship, join the RHF, and enquire about the status of applications. The launch coincides with the 20th anniversary of the RHF.
RHF secretary general Dr Mustafa Al Sayed said the new service is in line with the directives of His Majesty King Hamad, the RHF’s honorary president, and has the support of the King’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs and RHF chairman Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

“The initiative will ensure efficient digital transformation of the RHF’s services and the streamlining of its procedures,” he said.
“The RHF worked in co-operation with the Information and eGovernment Authority (iGA) to offer the new e-service via the national portal, to help continue the King’s humanitarian work and provide care for orphans, widows and the needy.
iGA chief executive Mohammed Ali Al Qaed congratulated His Majesty and Shaikh Nasser on the occasion.
He also thanked iGA employees, highlighting their efforts, in co-operation with the RHF, to provide this service.
“The new offering highlights the RHF’s pioneering role in caring for widows, orphans and others in need through the deployment of a range of advanced technologies.”
He added that the iGA will continue to offer its best to further improve the RHF’s offerings.
