Qatar Charity launches ‘27th Night Challenge’ to rebuild displaced Syrians' homes
As part of its Ramadan campaign ‘Giving Lives On’, Qatar Charity will host the ‘27th Night Challenge’, the largest YouTube fundraising event, under the slogan ‘Rebuilding Hope’ on Wednesday. The event aims to raise QR 40 million to support the rebuilding of 1,500 homes in Syria, enabling displaced families to return and restoring essential services for a safer, more stable environment. The ‘27th Night Challenge’ event will take place at Wisdom Square in the Katara Cultural Village, featuring social media influencers Abdulla Al-Ghafri, Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Harami, and Mohamad Adnan. The event will also include live video calls with several Syrian influencers and media figures from displacement camps in Syria. The challenge will run for three days, starting Monday (the 25th night of Ramadan) and ending Wednesday (the 27th night of Ramadan) at midnight. The challenge takes place during the Last Ten Days of Ramadan, the most auspicious nights, reflecting Qatar Charity's dedication to raising awareness of humanitarian issues and mobilizing support for impactful charitable projects that make a difference in the lives of beneficiaries, especially in crisis-stricken regions. Mr. Ahmad Yousef Fakhroo, Chief Marketing Officer at Qatar Charity, called upon Qatar's benefactors—individuals, companies, and organizations—to maximize the blessings of Ramadan by contributing to vital reconstruction efforts in Syria. He urged them to give their Zakat and Sadaqah to rebuild homes for displaced Syrians, ending their camp suffering and restoring dignified living conditions after 14 years of crisis. He also prayed to Allah to accept the donors' efforts during these blessed nights, increase their rewards, and bless them with the Prophet's companionship in paradise. The reconstruction project, funded by the 27th Night Challenge, will be implemented in the Hama countryside, an area devastated by bombings. This initiative aims to restore 1,500 homes, enabling families to return, while also rebuilding vital infrastructure, including a health center, mosques, primary, preparatory, and secondary schools, a kindergarten, and 50 commercial shops. Upon completion, the project will help close displacement camps, ending years of hardship, and allowing families to return to their homes, revitalizing their communities. Qatar Charity urges benefactors in Qatar to take advantage of these blessed nights and support the ‘27th Night Challenge’ by donating to the reconstruction project in the Hama countryside, Syria, offering displaced families hope and stability. Donations can be made via qch.qa/27, through the 'Home Collector' service on the Qatar Charity app (https://qch.qa/appen), by calling 44290000, or at Qatar Charity branches and collectors in shopping malls.

Qatar Charity Distributes Ramadan Food Baskets to Mothers of Orphans in Sheikhha Aisha bint Hamad Al-Attiya City, Sudan
Continuing the charitable efforts of the people of Qatar, field teams from Qatar Charity in Sudan distributed Ramadan food baskets to the mothers of orphans sponsored by Qatar Charity in Sheikhha Aisha bint Hamad Al-Attiya City, 'Rafaqa,' in the River Nile State. This distribution is part of the larger 'Giving Lives On' campaign, which is being carried out across 40 countries worldwide. Dr. Tahani Mirghani, the Minister of Social Affairs for River Nile State, expressed her deep appreciation for the generous support provided by the people of Qatar for the Iftar project run by Qatar Charity. This initiative delivers essential food supplies to assist those fasting during Ramadan. The project focuses on supporting vulnerable families, orphans, and widows. The Minister also conveyed her gratitude to the State of Qatar, its leadership, and its people, as well as to the donors who made these Ramadan projects possible. She highlighted Qatar Charity's proactive role in aiding families affected by the war, offering support in the form of food, shelter, and health supplies. Mohamed Ahmed Hamdo, the Executive Director of the Damer Locality, noted that Qatar Charity has made significant contributions, providing high-quality support to families in need, especially during these challenging times. He emphasized the importance of such initiatives for the well-being of vulnerable communities. The Iftar project, which Qatar Charity has been running in Sudan for nearly three decades, aims to distribute Ramadan food baskets to 14,280 beneficiaries this season. This includes families of sponsored and unsponsored orphans, displaced families, and others in need due to the ongoing conflict. Today's distribution benefited mothers of orphans in Sheikhha Aisha bint Hamad Al-Attiya City, located in the Damer area of River Nile State. Several mothers of orphans in Sheikhha Aisha City, which serves as a living testament to the enduring legacy of the people of Qatar in caring for orphans and their families, expressed their sincere gratitude for the Ramadan food baskets. These baskets, which contain essential items for every Sudanese family during Ramadan, are especially appreciated given the difficult economic conditions that make access to food increasingly challenging for many disadvantaged families. Huda Al-Amin, a mother of orphans in Sheikhha Aisha City, shared that the food basket she received contained all the necessary items and arrived at a crucial time. She concluded by saying, 'We pray that Allah rewards the generous donors from Qatar for their kindness.'

Qatar Charity launches humanitarian initiatives for vulnerable groups in Somalia
Qatar's generous donations funded two humanitarian projects in Somalia, easing the suffering of children with heart conditions and supporting persons with special needs. The projects were launched by a delegation from Qatar Charity (QC), led by Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Director of the Development Operations Department, with Somali ministers and officials in attendance. Through its 'Compassionate Hearts' initiative, Qatar Charity facilitated critical surgeries for 30 children with heart defects at the Somali Sudanese Hospital in Mogadishu, thanks to the dedication of local and international volunteer doctors. The Somali Minister of Health, Dr. Ali Haji, lauded the initiative as a model of humanitarian solidarity. In his speech during the launch, he said, 'Compassionate Hearts' is not just a medical project, but a model of humanitarian solidarity that leads to the development of communities. Such precise surgeries were once considered impossible within Somalia, forcing patients to travel abroad or live with pain due to a lack of resources. We are grateful to Qatar Charity and all those who contributed to this project, which saved children's lives and restored hope to their families.' For his part, Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Nairobi, spokesperson for the surgical team, expressed his great joy at the success of the campaign. 'The surgeries performed were not just medical interventions, but a message of new life for the children and their families. Every child's smile we saw after the surgery was a new motivation for us to do more.' The surgeries had a profound impact, greatly improving the health of the children, and their families expressed deep gratitude for the positive outcomes. Samira’s mother described the moment: 'It was a true miracle. I never imagined my daughter would return to her normal life so quickly.' Besides, Qatar Charity launched the first phase of a project to distribute 700 wheelchairs in Somalia, providing 70 electric and manual wheelchairs to support individuals with special needs. The project was launched in the presence of Hon. Mohamed Osman, State Minister for Family Affairs and Human Rights, Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Director of the Development Operations Department at Qatar Charity, and Mr. Mohamed Abdali Jama, Chairman of Somalia's National Disability Agency (NDA). Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Director of the Development Operations Department at Qatar Charity, said, 'We are dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with special needs and integrating them into the community.' For his part, Mr. Mohamed Abdali Jama, Chairman of the National Disability Agency (NDA), stated, “This wheelchair distribution is a tangible step toward improving the lives of persons with special needs in Somalia. This support enhances their independence and social participation. We thank Qatar Charity for this remarkable effort.” Hon. Mohamed Osman, State Minister for Family Affairs and Human Rights, said, 'This initiative reflects the strong partnership between the Somali government and international humanitarian organizations like Qatar Charity. We believe in the power of collaboration to create positive change in the lives of the most vulnerable groups.'
