Qatar Charity Distributes Food Baskets to Syrian Refugees in Jordan

Qatar Charity (QC) has distributed food baskets to Syrian refugees in Jordan’s Azraq and Zaatari camps. Executed in close coordination with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the initiative forms part of Qatar Charity's continued global interventions aimed at supporting refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) and mitigating protracted humanitarian crises. The distribution operations spanned four consecutive days, with field teams dedicating two operational days to each camp. During this period, 2,000 food baskets were distributed, benefiting approximately 16,000 people from the target groups. Each food basket included a selection of basic food items that meet the daily needs of beneficiary families for an entire month. This initiative contributes to enhancing food security and easing living burdens, in accordance with standards that ensure food safety and quality. The project embodies Qatar Charity's mission to ensure a dignified life for all and reinforce the resilience of vulnerable families in Syrian refugee camps within the Kingdom. Qatar Charity's Jordan Branch has been operating since 2021 in partnership with the Jordanian government and civil society organizations. It provides a range of services, including social care through sponsorships for orphans and vulnerable families, relief services for those affected by humanitarian crises, and economic empowerment programs to assist those in need across the Kingdom.

Qatar Charity Empowers Women Economically in Chad
Qatar Charity (QC) has brought about a tangible transformation for female vegetable vendors at the 'Al-Afia Market' in the Chadian capital, N'Djamena. Through a strategic income-generating development project, 100 women have transitioned from precarious, informal labor to organized economic activity, securing sustainable livelihoods while enhancing market environment and food safety. Implemented by Qatar Charity’s Chad Branch in partnership with the Municipality of N'Djamena, the project distributed 100 fully equipped metal stalls to 100 female heads of households. This initiative has directly improved the living conditions of approximately 700 family members by providing a stable means of production. Beyond mere display units, these stalls serve as a launchpad for economic independence. Each vendor received an initial stock of assorted vegetables, allowing the beneficiaries to begin trading immediately without the need for start‑up capital. This support has helped ensure a regular income flow and improved household stability. Alarming Indicators This project addresses Chad’s complex socio-economic landscape, where recent World Bank data shows extreme poverty reached 36.5% after rising over two points in a year, and 44.8% of the population—approximately 9.5 million people—lives below the poverty line. It specifically empowers women, who are disproportionately vulnerable to income loss due to their heavy reliance on the informal economy. Qualitative Leap The project delivers a dual impact by combining economic empowerment with enhanced sanitation and food safety. It provides beneficiaries with organized, dignified vending spaces that stabilize incomes and improve daily operations. Additionally, three-tiered metal stalls protect vegetables and fruits from dust, insects, and exhaust, safeguarding product quality and the health of thousands of daily shoppers. In this context, the Mayor of N'Djamena, Sanoussi Hassana Abdoulaye, praised the project, noting that it represents a qualitative leap in improving environmental sanitation within Al-Afia Market and effectively contributes to higher standards of public hygiene and food safety. A Real Difference During the handover ceremony, beneficiaries—including Fatima Ibrahim, Hawa Adam, and Amina Makki—expressed deep gratitude, noting that the project has stabilized their lives after years of hardship. Mr. Abdoulhamid Mohamed, Country Director of Qatar Charity’s Chad Branch, reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to sustainable development, stating that empowering women through income-generating projects stimulates the local economy and strengthens social cohesion.

Al-Wafid Al-Sir, Representative of the Darfur IDP Committee in Khartoum State, expressed his gratitude to Qatar Charity for providing humanitarian assistance to families displaced from various Darfur states.

He voiced his hope for the cessation of the causes of displacement and for the safe return of all IDPs to their original homes. Tariq Mohieddin, Acting Country Director of Qatar Charity’s Sudan Office, revealed that the distribution included 470 food baskets containing essential supplies, 1,000 blankets, 500 personal hygiene kits, and significant quantities of essential medicines. He further explained that during the current month, Qatar Charity has implemented a large-scale project featuring four humanitarian convoys for El Fasher’s displaced populations in Al-Dabbah. These convoys focused on providing essential food, livelihoods, healthcare, and dignified housing. He added that high-impact humanitarian projects will continue to be implemented across several states in the coming period.

In its international Udhiyah operations, Qatar Charity focuses on countries and regions most affected by protracted crises and disasters, with priority given to Palestine (including the Gaza Strip), Somalia, Syria, Kenya, and Sudan. This approach aims to strengthen food security and ensure access to assistance for the most vulnerable populations. Eid Clothing Outside Qatar The campaign also includes the implementation of the Eid Clothing Project for orphans in around 21 countries, including: Türkiye, Jordan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sudan, Somalia, Niger, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Tunisia, Djibouti, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Palestine (Gaza Strip and West Bank), Kosovo, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire.

Projects Inside Qatar Within the State of Qatar, the 'Alaqraboon' Center of Qatar Charity will implement the Udhiyah project, targeting the distribution of the meat from 1,750 sacrificial animals at a cost of approximately QAR 1.5 million, benefiting nearly 20,000 people. Beneficiaries will include low‑income households, orphan families, families of prisoners, and other vulnerable groups. To spread joy during Eid, the center will also implement the “Eidi” Project, targeting 1,500 children from orphan families and low‑income households. In addition, it will organize the “Eid Joy Festival,” which will target hundreds of orphans and their families. The campaign will further include support for 2,500 urgent humanitarian cases inside Qatar. Food Security and Water Projects The campaign will go beyond Udhiyah and Eid clothing to mobilize support for an integrated package of food security and water projects outside Qatar. These will include food baskets, hot meals, support for community kitchens and bakeries, in addition to interventions to address malnutrition in countries most affected by hunger. It will also mobilize support for clean water projects, like drilling wells, to help communities facing severe drought and water shortages. A key component of the campaign is the “10×10 Initiative,” which features ten high‑impact projects during the first ten days of Dhul‑Hijjah, focusing on food security and economic empowerment—such as feeding programs, income‑generating projects, and support for vulnerable families—offering donors multiple opportunities to maximize the impact of their contributions. Maximizing Humanitarian Impact Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Executive Director of Communications and Community Impact Qatar Charity, stated: “The Most Blessed Days” campaign comes at a time when humanitarian needs are rising in several regions around the world. Qatar Charity is committed to directing its interventions toward those most in need, in accordance with the highest professional standards. During these blessed days, we recall the saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” This serves as a powerful motivation for everyone to seize the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah to multiply their charitable acts and expand their reach, ultimately helping us serve the greatest number of beneficiaries and maximize our collective humanitarian impact.'
