QC launches ‘Travel and Aid’ travel website Qatar Charity has launched a travel website which works to promote participation in charitable work. The site is the first of its kind in the region and provides a creative and innovative way for people to donate to relief and development programs and projects online. The site was developed and is managed by QC and enables the public to support humanitarian projects across the world, simply by booking hotels and airline tickets. A special ceremony marked the launch of the project, attended by QC CEO Yusuf Bin Ahmed Al Kuwari and Executive Director of Support Affairs, Mohammed Abdullah Al Yazidi. In a speech made at the ceremony, Al Kuwari said: “Qatar Charity has a strong history of supporting and launching quality and creative initiatives and projects in humanitarian work that engage societies, individuals and institutions in charitable and volunteer work, investing in technology and the rapid development in the areas of communication and the Internet in order to promote and finance relief and development programs and projects for the benefit of those in need around the world, and is always eager to facilitate the donation process.” Kuwari called on companies and institutions that operate in the travel and tourism fields to coordinate with the site and sign agreements with them in order to contribute to encouraging the community to donate to charitable projects across the world.  He also urged the community to use the site whenever they need to travel. He expressed the hope that the site will contribute to widening the culture of charitable work, allowing the largest number of people possible to do good in an easy way, stressing that every contribution can make a difference in helping make the world a better place. A special presentation entitled ‘Travel and donate’, outlined the simple steps to booking through the website, which are as follows: · Access the site at travelandaid.com via your computer browser or smartphone · Find and compare between airlines and hotels. · Complete your purchase and the airline and hotel will donate a percentage of the price for the benefit of charitable projects. The supported browser ‘EXTENSION’ calculates all customers’ transactions automatically, making them fast, safe and easy. The Travelandaid.com site has already signed a partnership agreement with a group of the top airlines and hotels, and these agreements mean that for every purchase made via the site the airline and hotel companies will make a donation for the benefit of charity work without adding any additional cost to the traveler. The proceeds of donations to the site will be used to fund projects that contribute to the provision of clean water, health and social care, education and the economic empowerment of poor communities, in a manner that enables them to maintain their dignity and contribute to their development. QC works to support poor regions and communities that are exposed to disasters in more than sixty countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe, through eighteen field offices and an extensive network of partners.

I thank the  philanthropists of Qatar and QC for everything they have done.” Summary of Relief Operations 130,000 displaced and crisis-affected people benefited from QC’s continuous campaign ‘Yemen, We Are with You’ since the recent Yemen crisis started and until the end of last May (2015). QC’s relief operations for the Yemeni people included healthcare, food, water, shelter, and repairs. The aids were delivered to 8 governorates: San’a, Aden, Ma’rib, Hadramaut, Hajjah, Hodeda, Dhale , and Taiz. The food aid included 17,300 food baskets, 80 tons of flour, and 180 tons of different types of food which were distributed to the mentioned governorates.

QC Presents ‘Mushaf Bassira’ (

In a ceremony sponsored by the Qatari Ambassador in Jakarta,   QC Presents ‘Mushaf Bassira’ (a copy of the Holy Quran for the visually impaired) as  a gift to 2,000 visually impaired persons in Indonesia   Indonesia's x-minister of endowment: QC offers exquisite projects to the Indonesians The Holy Quran distribution will include 7 cities in 4 islands   In Indonesia, QC inaugurated its campaign "Mushaf Bassira" to distribute 2,000 copies to visually impaired persons.   The inauguration ceremony was held in Filmang city in Sumatra Island under the auspices of Mohammed Al-Khater, Qatar Ambassador in Indonesia, and in the presence of the governor, and other important figures. Dr. Said Agil Husin Al Munawar, Indonesia's x-minister of endowment and religious affairs, attended the ceremony and expressed his great appreciation and sincere gratitude to the Qatari ambassador and QC for coming to the city and for distributing copies of the Holy Quran to the visually impaired persons. "We are very happy to be here today. This excellent project cannot but be added to a long list of great projects which QC implements in our country," he said.   Mohammed Al-Khater, Qatar ambassador in Indonesia, said "I am happy to attend this wonderful ceremony. This project is very special because it offers a sacred service. Helping the visually impaired by giving them copies of "Mushaf Bassira", which will assist them in reading and memorizing the Quran, is a precious deed. I also thank QC for all the great efforts it exerts here in Indonesia, the big Islamic country."   Then, the copies were distributed to the visually impaired persons sitting among the audience; and were introduced to the different functions of the copy which made them feel very joyful, and thankful.   Mr. Karam Zeinhom,  Country Director of QC Indonesia, said, "This copy of the Holy Quran "Mushaf Bassira" will not serve the Visually impaired persons in Jakarta only, but will extend to serve others in 7 different cities, in 4 Indonesian islands. I thank and appreciate all of you for coming and attending the inauguration of the campaign."   Important Features   The idea of Mushaf Bassira is to provide a manual written in Braille code. Users can select the surah (chapter) they wishe to listen to, and can rewind the verses they wants.   The Mushaf also allows a user to listen to the explanation of the verses; which means s\he can listen to the recitation of the Quran, memorize it, and learn its meaning. In cooperation with a Malaysian company, QC printed "Mushaf Bassira" to the visually impaired so as to learn the Quran and listen to its recitation easily.   This unique product is very important because there are more than 7,000,000 visually impaired persons in the Arab world. Most of these people cannot afford buying a copy of the Quran written in Braille code; it is expensive, and very big.   This copy has a list of all the surahs (chapters) printed in Braille code with an electronic pen with a sound system. The visually impaired person can use it to listen to famous Quran reciters, to learn the meaning of the words, to know the occasions and circumstances of revelation, to control the sound volume, to easily find the surahs and verses, and to listen to several invocations.   Good-doers can donate by using QC's website qcharity.org\MUSHAF or by going to the QC's headquarter, its branches, or its collecting booths in malls. Ooredoo customers can send "بصيرة"  in an SMS to 92652 to donate 400 QR.     The House of the Quran   As part of its interest in teaching Quran and its sciences, QC has implemented a project in Indonesia called "Bait Al-Quran" (The House of the Quran) at a cost of 1,500,000 QR by the end of last year.  It offers different services, and more than 350 students are benefiting from it.   The project is basically a school which consists of 6 classes, a mosque, laboratories, a library, a water well, 8 bathrooms, a dorm for the teachers, another one for the students, and two stores.   QC helps improve the educational field so that it would be effectively used. Until the end of last year, QC established around 15 centers which offer different services set in different cities in Indonesia.   QC had already implemented several cultural and educational projects in Indonesia. It also built 16 schools which benefit 53,000 Indonesian citizens. QC also built 496 mosques in Indonesia that serve 25,000 people. Furthermore, QC printed and distributed copies of the Holy Quran to almost 150,000 people.
