Qatar Charity (QC) has been honored with the prestigious Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Housing Award for the 2024–2025 cycle, during the 23rd GCC Housing Ministers Meeting held in Kuwait.
The award was received by Mr. Yousuf bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Charity, from H.E. Mr. Abdul Latif Abdullah Al-Mashari, Kuwait’s Minister of State for Municipal and Housing Affairs. The ceremony was also attended by H.E. Ms. Buthaina bint Ali Al Jabr Al Nuaimi, Qatar’s Minister of Social Development and Family.
Qatar Charity has implemented several initiatives to support low-income families, widows, and divorcees within Qatar by addressing their housing needs. These efforts include covering rental costs and implementing the "Renovation” project, which focuses on repairing old homes for low-income families and providing them with suitable furniture.
Mr. Yousuf bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Charity, said, “We are pleased with this honor, which reflects Qatar Charity’s dedication to social housing as part of its contribution to realizing Qatar National Vision 2030. Through initiatives that aim to foster community stability, enhance living standards, and provide healthy housing environments for low-income families and groups, we are committed to making a meaningful impact.” He noted that this recognition will motivate Qatar Charity to pay more attention to such community initiatives.
It is worth mention that the 6th edition of the GCC Housing Award 2024-2025 was held under the theme “Digital/Smart Applications and Technologies in Housing Projects and Programs.” Cash prizes were awarded to the top three winners, and several organizations were honored during the official ceremony, including Qatar Charity, which was recognized in the category of private sector and charitable organizations.
