Qatar Charity (QC) has begun implementing its Ramadan projects under the ‘Ramadan: Leave Your Mark’ campaign in 40 countries worldwide through its field offices and local partners. The projects worth nearly QR 31 million are expected to benefit more than one million people globally.
These projects focus on disaster and crisis-hit countries like Syria, Turkey, Somalia, Bangladesh (including Rohingya refugees), and Palestine, in addition to attaching significant attention to those most in need in poor communities.
Mr. Nawaf al-Hammadi CEO’s assistant for the international operations and programs sector at Qatar Charity, said that there are three main projects, which are Feed the Fasting (Food Packages, Iftar Meals, and Iftar Tables), Zakat Al-Ftir, and Eid Clothing.
He added that as of today, the implementation of the ‘Feed the Fasting’ project will begin and will continue to be implemented throughout the holy month, while the other two projects are expected to be implemented soon.
Feed the Fasting
He indicated that the ‘Feed the Fasting’ project consists of either ready-to-eat Iftar meals or essential food packages for a family for the whole month of Ramadan. The project worth nearly QR 21.3 million is expected to benefit 452,400 people.
‘Zakat Al-Ftir’
He noted that the ‘Zakat Al-Ftir’ project aims to help underprivileged families and share the joy of Eid with them. The project worth nearly QR 8.2 million is expected to benefit 542,200 people.
Eid Clothing
Hammadi mentioned that the ‘Eid Clothing’ project aims to share the joy of Eid with orphans, and some 7,065 orphans are expected to benefit from the project worth more than QR 1.4 million.
On behalf of Qatar Charity, he thanked the philanthropists for their continued trust in it, for their support to its project throughout the year, and for generously donating to its previous Ramadan drives. He urged them to support the ‘Ramadan: Leave Your Mark’ campaign to reach the expected number of beneficiaries.
