THE MARTYR'S BUREAU
The Martyrs’ Bureau was established on June 19, 1991 in accordance with the Amiri Decree No 38. The purpose of the Bureau was to honour the martyrs (of the Gulf War) and their families. The Bureau perpetuates the memory of Kuwait’s martyrs through various activities and it looks after the welfare (social, educational, legal and psychological) of their families.

Some activities that the Bureau undertakes to keep the memory of the martyrs alive are naming streets, public drinking water places, suburbs and parks after the martyrs. Planting trees in their names, issuing stamps in the memory of martyrs, organising charity projects and holding cultural competitions are some other ways in which the Bureau has ensured that the martyrs’ sterling contributions to the nation are not forgotten. The Bureau also runs a Martyrs’ Museum.

The Bureau is run by an administrative council comprising a chairman and 10 other members through clearly defined departments such as the Perpetuating Department; the Guidance and Family Care Department; the Work Field Department;
THE MARTYR'S BUREAU

Training and Development Department; Computer and Information Centre; and the Activities Committee.

It follows a clearly defined procedure for identifying a martyr’s family, and the possible services that can be provided to it. Sociologists’ help is sought and taken at every step of this procedure, and the Bureau ensures that every family is dealt with care and sensitivity.
