A team of Qatar's Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MCI) continues its voluntary efforts to finance a multi-service centre project in Indonesia, which will include educational facilities, a mosque and a waterwell in addition to other services.
The QR2mn project is expected to benefit 1,100 people. The team has so far managed to collect QR527,000 and is making efforts to collect the remaining QR1,473,000.
The efforts of the team come as part of the 'Competitors' programme, a radio broadcast produced by Qatar Charity (QC) in cooperation with Al Quran Al Kareem Radio in Qatar.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry team participating in the radio programme 'Competitors' visited Indonesia to support the project, noting that it is expected to contribute to the provision of excellent educational services and support students in need.
The team also pointed out that the donation in favour of this project can easily be made through QC's website and App as well as through its 25 branches within the country and 92 collection points in commercial complexes.
Before starting the marketing of this project, the team including Mohamed al Ansari, Faisal al Haithmi, in addition to Khalid Abu Mozah and Ibrahim Fetian, visited Indonesia to choose an appropriate project and its place.
The visit began with a meeting with the Qatari Ambassador HE Ahmed Jassim al Hamr at Qatar's Embassy in Jakarta. The delegation then paid a visit to a poor village of the Bekasi city where the multi-service centre will be built.
The delegation was welcomed by some parliament members, the chief district officer and the local institute, which is a partner in this project, in addition to a number of students of the institute.
Dr Khairan Ahmad Arif, head of the institute, said:"We rented a house to use it as a school due to the need of this region for education," noting that 55 students have been registered, while a large number of the students are willing to be enrolled, which is beyond the capacity of the school.
He added that the multi-service centre would provide free education to the needy students of the region.
On his part, Faisal al Haithmi, a member of the ministerial team, said:"We came here as representatives of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and will make every effort to build the centre for you."
