QATAR Charity (QC) extended its thanks and appreciation to the national institutions and companies that supported its Ramadan campaign 1437 AH held under the slogan 'Your Giving Saves Lives'.
The total cost of QC's projects implemented during the Holy Month of Ramadan this year inside and outside Qatar exceeded QR32.2 million, with more than 2,131,000 people including families benefiting from the campaign.
"With its firm belief in the importance of partnership and cooperation to realise the development and humanitarian objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030, QC spares no effort to enhance its cooperation with various partners nationally, regionally and globally," said QC CEO Yousef bin Ahmed al Kuwari. He added:"We should be faithful to our partners in Qatar and appreciate their efforts to help the displaced, refugees, the needy, orphans and patients."
Kuwari urged benevolent Qataris and residents to continue donation for QC's development and relief projects inside and outside the country. The CEO of QC asserted that QC's role is not limited to financing charity projects; it extends to providing education and training.
The partnerships in QC's Ramadan campaign 1437 AH 'Your Giving Saves Lives' came from the public sector, semi-governmental sector, the private and the non-profit sector. The partnerships' modalities, frameworks and outcomes included providing discounts and direct services to the beneficiaries and supporting the direct social impact projects.
They also include giving an opportunity to the cooperating agencies' staff to provide in-kind donations through the intensive campaigns conducted for the needy, providing halls and infrastructure services from these agencies to QC for free. This would make it easier for these agencies to implement their programmes and adopt the local moral, recreational, cultural, social and awareness-raising projects.
Regarding the governmental and semi-governmental sector, QC built partnerships with many agencies to implement charity projects during the holy month and received in-kind, and cash donations.
These agencies included the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Ministry of Economy and Commerce, Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Energy and Industry, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Municipality and Environment, Dawa Administration, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Center, Qatargas, RasGas, Hamad Medical Corporation, Ashghal, Qatar Rail, Qatar Airways, Kahramaa, Qatar Tourism Authority, Hamad international Airport, Al Wakrah Municipality, Umm Salal Municipality, Doha Municipality and Qatar Financial Markets Authority.
QC also cooperated with a number of companies, commercial institutions, banks and schools inside the State such as Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ansari Complex for the Holy Quran, Al Meera Consumer Goods Co, Quality Group, Safari Group, Ansar Gallery, Ali Bin Ali Watches & Jewellery, Landmark, Villaggio Mall, Aqua Park Qatar, Turkish Airlines, the United Restaurants and Hospitality Group, HSBC Bank, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Qatar Volunteers Group 'One Doha', Qatar Cancer Society, The Pearl-Qatar - the United Development Company, Tomorrow's Pioneers Center, Gulf Mall Complex, Moevenpick Hotel , Ooredoo, Vodafone, Mowasalat, Qatar Islamic Bank-Zakat Committee, Barwa Bank Group, Al Rayan Bank, Sulaiman Al Haider Company, Doha Bank, Al-Muntazah Model Independent School, Ahl Alkaram, Almaraya Company, Inchcape Shipping Services, Barahat AlWakra, Unilever, Marks & Spencer Villaggio and Landmark (branches) and The Youth Company (volunteers).)
The QC campaign aimed to reach 180,000 fasting people with the provision of iftar meals at 24 collective tables at a total cost of about QR9 million. The iftar tables reached out to new groups like factory workers and farm workers. QC also provided 'home-to-home' iftar, mobile iftar, water to worshippers, Ramadan supplies and supported iftar tables for communities.
