Qatar Red Crescent Society’s (QRCS) Volunteering and Local Development Division has recently executed several activities under the Stand Together programme, which is aimed at providing care for expatriate workers in Qatar, and to promote harmony and solidarity among segments of society.
With funding from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) Humanitarian Funds (INSANIA), QRCS distributed food parcels to many labourers to help meet their basic food needs. All COVID-19 preventive measures were observed as per the instructions of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
Donated by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), 27 tonnes of dates were distributed to more than 20,000 farm workers in Mesaieed, Al-Wakra, Al-Wukair, Al-Khor and Ras Laffan, in addition to construction workers of the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) in Doha.
Muna Fadel Al-Sulaiti, executive director of Volunteering and Local Development Division at QRCS, stated, “Expatriate workers are always a top priority for our local operations. We focus on them even more during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. Such annual religious occasions bring with them the spirituality of mercy, benevolence and compassion among the rich and the poor. Amid the negative impact of COVID-19 on the lower social strata, it is our duty to work harder these days to reach out to the under-served
communities.”
She commended the productive collaboration with INSANIA, MME and Ashghal as “a model to follow in humanitarian partnership to serve those in need, which would have positive implications for their everyday life and make them feel safe and taken care of here in Qatar”.
Stand Together is a social development initiative to ensure the welfare of expatriate workers through diverse forms of assistance, such as health education, food aid and hygiene kits. The ultimate goal is to improve their living conditions and achieve social integration.
