The Amir of Humanity book is dedicated to His Highness The Amir of Kuwait. A global humanitarian leader, the Amir has built upon the long and noble tradition of impactful giving that is part of the history of Kuwait, its people, and its leaders. In so doing, he has helped establish the Gulf state as the undisputed centre of humanitarianism in the Middle East. In this book we pay tribute to the Amir – and to a legacy that has changed millions of lives around the world.
