Doha, Qatar – November 20, 2024

Ezdehar Incubator for Initiatives and Volunteering, an initiative of Qatar Charity, has launched ‘Ezwah wa Sanad’, a community program, in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports and Youth. The program aims to increase youth engagement in volunteering and community work.

The program aims to unite the efforts of young people across the country, train them to carry out community tasks, organize events and activities, connect them with the local community, and strengthen partnerships with various entities and initiatives to support community development.

The ‘Ezwah wa Sanad’ program directly targets youth, both male and female, aged 18 and above, with a special focus on those in areas outside the capital, Doha, to provide the targeted areas with qualified youth expertise. The program aims to engage 120 participants, with 20 young men and 20 young women from each of the three targeted areas, as part of their social responsibility.

Mr. Faisal Rashid al-Fehaida, Chief Local Programs Officer at Qatar Charity, expressed his delight at the launch of the ‘Ezwah wa Sanad’ program. He highlighted the program's role in promoting a culture of community service within Qatari society, particularly among youth.

He stated that the program reflects the role of Ezdehar in empowering youth for charitable and community work. He indicated that, with a week-long training led by experts and practical experience, it equips participants to design and manage community events confidently in their areas. He also hoped that it will strengthen connections between youth and initiatives dedicated to community service across Qatar.

Al-Fehaida urged youth to join the program, hoping they would gain valuable benefits. He also thanked the Ministry of Sports and Youth for supporting the program through its youth center and by hosting training workshops.

Mr. Fawaz Al-Mesafri, Director of Youth Affairs at the Ministry of Sports and Youth, stated that the ‘Ezwah wa Sanad’ program aims to boost youth engagement in community work by preparing them for leadership roles with a social impact through organizing activities and events.
