Taking into consideration the great attention paid by Al Waqf, represented by Kuwait Awaqaf Public Foundation (KAPF) in Waqf and it's projects, KAPF has established Waqf Information Center on March 1998 specializes in the information services and supporting the decision making for all the interested parties in Waqf.

The Information Center consists of a specialized library that offers various kinds of services to researchers in the different countries and as permitted by the regulations and policies governing such services.
