As part of the ‘Warm Winter’ campaign 2018-19, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has distributed food and winter aid to needy families in Jordan.
The project, co-implemented by Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), was sponsored by Qatar Airways. The drive was aimed at alleviating the suffering of needy families by providing life-saving aid amid the extreme cold spell in Jordan.
Under the project, food parcels and heaters were delivered to 234 needy families in Jurf Al-Darawish, a district of Tafilah Governorate, southern Jordan.
The aid was distributed on the premises of Jurf Al-Darawish Women’s Charity and National Aid Fund, where a team of QRCS volunteers and Qatar Airways crew provided the supplies to enable the families to withstand the harsh weather conditions.
Prior to the distribution, a coordination meeting was held by QRCS and JHCO personnel, to agree on the action plan, select the beneficiaries, and ensure timely and smooth delivery of aid.
Ali bin Hassan al Hammadi, secretary-general of QRCS, said, “We appreciate the close collaboration with our brothers in JHCO. We are happy with this generous support from Qatar Airways, a mega carrier and major contributor to our humanitarian work for the vulnerable everywhere. They adopt a noble approach of supporting civil society organisations in humanitarian and social services.”
Salam al Shawa, senior vice-president for marketing and corporate communications, Qatar Airways, said she was happy to work with QRCS on this great initiative. “Qatar Airways pays enormous attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme,” said Shawa. “We were there for the needy families. Together with QRCS, we could deliver food parcels and heaters. QRCS is a relief provider for vulnerable people all over the world.”
Fatima al Kaabna, chairwoman of the Jurf Al-Darawish Women’s Charity, thanked QRCS and the sponsor for standing by the low-income families of the governorate. “The living standards are too low in the district, which totally lacks aid from humanitarian organisations,” she added.
