Qatar Charity (QC), as part of its ongoing winter campaign “How Long”, provided winterization kits to sponsored orphans and their families in Bangladesh, benefiting a total of 11,000 individuals. This effort, supported by the benefactors in Qatar, aligns with Qatar Charity’s global orphan care initiative “Rofaqa”.
Qatar Charity, through the distribution of winterization kits, aims to provide essential warmth and comfort during the cold winter, ensuring that vulnerable communities are protected from harsh weather conditions.
The winterization kits, which included blankets, jackets, and hoodies, were distributed through Qatar Charity’s 13 orphan care centers, reaching a significant number of students and their families in need.
Local officials praised the winter kits for easing hardship on vulnerable people during the harsh winter. Mr. Mahmudul Hasan Mridha, a government official, commended Qatar Charity's aid distribution in the Rangpur division. He said, “Qatar Charity has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to humanitarian causes, and this initiative is yet another example of its dedication to alleviating the suffering of those in need.” He thanked Qatar Charity, which continues to make a meaningful impact on the lives of beneficiaries.
The recipients of the winterization kits expressed deep gratitude for the timely aid, highlighting how the initiative has made a tangible difference in their lives.
“I am very thankful to Qatar Charity for providing us with these winter clothes. My children were struggling with the cold, but now they have warm jackets and blankets that will help them stay healthy throughout the winter,” said Bilkis Akhter, a mother of an orphan who received the kit.
Sultan Ahmed, an orphaned student, shared, “The new jackets and blankets I received make me feel safe and warm. Now, I can focus on my studies without worrying about the cold.”
Rabeya Begum, a student, expressed her gratitude, saying, “I am thankful for the help; it has given me hope for the future.”
