KUWAIT: The Ministry of Islamic Affairs opened the sixth “My Craft in My Hands” exhibition at The Avenues mall on Sunday, showcasing handicrafts and artwork produced through rehabilitation programs. The five-day exhibition is organized by the ministry’s Rehabilitation and Correction Department in cooperation with the Interior Ministry’s General Department of Correctional Institutions. It features work created by inmates in correctional institution workshops, alongside handicrafts and visual art produced through rehabilitation programs at the Kuwait Center for Mental Health.

Acting Undersecretary Dr Sulaiman Al-Suwailim told KUNA that the exhibition supports the ministry’s mission to promote Islamic values, develop individual potential and encourage positive behavior. He stressed the ministry’s commitment to rehabilitation programs that help participants develop practical skills, build confidence and prepare for positive integration into society.

Government and community partnerships are central to these efforts, Al-Suwailim said. Cooperation with the Interior Ministry demonstrates how government agencies can complement one another’s work to strengthen rehabilitation programs and expand training opportunities. He praised the quality and variety of the exhibits, saying they reflected participants’ creativity and productive abilities. He also commended the Interior Ministry, the Health Ministry’s Kuwait Center for Mental Health and the Takaful Society for Prisoners’ Welfare for supporting rehabilitation efforts and caring for those taking part.

The exhibition highlights the role of vocational training in developing talent and turning acquired skills into tangible products, he said. Al-Suwailim also emphasized continued support for religious, educational, psychological and social programs, alongside cooperation in vocational training to advance rehabilitation goals.
