As the new academic year begins, Qatar Charity has launched the ‘Baraem’ program, designed to support children unable to join kindergarten. The program focuses on their psychological, academic, and behavioral development to prepare them for formal education in the upcoming school year.

This program, which coincides with the launch of the ‘Prioritizing their Education’ campaign, reflects Qatar Charity's commitment to providing a nurturing environment for young learners. By integrating educational, scientific, and cultural elements through a curriculum, the program aims to prepare children for formal education while enhancing their linguistic, literary, and behavioral skills.

The program, which targets 300 children aged 4-6 years, primarily focuses on instilling values, teaching the alphabet, and improving their skills in various fields, applying certain manners and behaviors. It also aims to improve the children’s skills of reading stories and writing words and sentences.

Qatar Charity’s community development centers in Al Khor and Al Rayyan, along with its social development center for expatriate communities, are continuing to implement the four-month-long ‘Baraem’ program.

The program includes regular interactive activities designed to enhance skills, promote community values, teach proper behavior, and instill good manners through the practice of various etiquettes and social norms.

Mr. Abdulrahman Mohammad Al-Hajri, Director of the Programs and Community Development Department at Qatar Charity, stated that this program is part of Qatar Charity’s efforts to provide a supportive educational environment for children unable to attend kindergarten. By utilizing a structured curriculum, the program aids students in reading both Arabic and English letters, while also teaching them other subjects.

He added that the program has been running for ten years, receiving substantial attention from parents, and graduating hundreds of children annually. He also emphasized the role of a dedicated team of qualified and experienced teachers skilled in working with children and providing them with a necessary educational foundation.

It is worth noting that under the slogan ‘Prioritizing their Education’, Qatar Charity has launched a campaign to support educational projects in 25 countries worldwide.  The campaign aims to provide school uniforms, cover tuition fees, build and furnish schools, as well as offer scholarships, and sponsor students.
