Qatar Charity (QC) has launched a major humanitarian campaign titled “Every Refugee Tent Holds a Story” to mark World Refugee Day, which is observed annually on June 20. The initiative aims to shed light on the harsh realities faced by displaced populations worldwide, amplify their hopes for a better future, and deliver integrated relief and development aid to the most vulnerable communities.
Aligning with global efforts to protect displaced people, the campaign focuses on safeguarding refugee rights and easing their daily hardships. By securing vital food, water, shelter, and medical care, the initiative works to restore basic living standards. Through this targeted push, Qatar Charity is mobilizing both public and institutional support to ensure refugee families can rebuild their lives in safety, stability, and dignity.
Target Countries
With the support of donors, the campaign targets refugees from several countries, including Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Myanmar (Rohingya refugees), Syria, and Palestine. These populations are hosted across several countries such as Pakistan, Ethiopia, Chad, Egypt, Kenya, Djibouti, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Jordan, Türkiye, and Lebanon.
Areas of Intervention
The campaign focuses on a wide range of humanitarian interventions. These include the provision of food, clean water, and sanitation services, as well as shelter support and non-food items. It also covers healthcare services, access to education for children, and programmes that strengthen refugees’ resilience and ability to cope with displacement conditions. These efforts aim to improve living conditions and help restore stability in their daily lives.
Call for Support
Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Executive Director of Communications and Community Impact at Qatar Charity, urged donors and the public to support the cause. He noted that the suffering of refugees is a daily reality for families who have lost everything, adding that every donation brings hope and warmth back to camps exhausted by waiting.
He also reminded the community of the core values of mercy and solidarity, citing the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that the most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.
Refugee aid is a major part of Qatar Charity's interventions. In 2025, the organization spent QAR 645 million on relief projects, helping 10 million people globally. The largest portion of this aid went to urgent humanitarian situations in Palestine (including Gaza), Syria, and Sudan.
How to Donate
Donors can contribute to the campaign through multiple convenient channels. Options include using Qatar Charity’s website or mobile app, calling the hotline at 44290000, or requesting a "Home Collector" through the application. Donations are also accepted in person at Qatar Charity branches and collection booths inside local shopping malls.
