In a move that combines humanitarian response and economic empowerment efforts, and with the support of philanthropists in Qatar, Qatar Charity, in cooperation with the Şahinbey Municipality in Gaziantep Province, southern Turkey, continues to implement a project aimed at supporting 300 refugee families and needy groups from the local community with hot meals daily and on a regular basis. This contributes to enhancing food security for the neediest families and provides an opportunity for several mothers of orphans to improve their living conditions.
The beneficiaries of the food support include those sponsored by Qatar Charity, including orphans, people with special needs, and the elderly, as well as needy refugee families and members of the local community.
A Craft for Mothers of Orphans
The project includes a development component dedicated to 10 mothers of orphans sponsored by Qatar Charity. They will be trained in cooking and vocational skills at the Şahinbey Municipality Kitchen, enabling them to acquire a craft that will enable them to generate a sustainable income. The project also includes monthly stipends to support their family and economic stability.
In this context, Mr. Faruk Ezi, Director of the Şahinbey Municipal Kitchen, said: "Within the framework of the project, we provide mothers with a safe and clean working environment and provide regular meals to 300 needy families in cooperation with Qatar Charity. In this way, we contribute to meeting the nutritional needs of needy families, while simultaneously gaining economic independence for mothers, enabling them to better support their children."
In Turkey, Qatar Charity sponsors more than 7,400 orphans, needy families, students, and people with special needs, including Syrian, Arab, and Turkish refugees, who receive comprehensive care through the "Rofaka" initiative.
It is worth noting that Qatar Charity is currently continuing to mobilize support to provide food in several African and Asian countries that suffer from food insecurity due to disasters, crises, conflicts and poverty, through its “Feed and Life” campaign. It urges charitable people to continue their support for the campaign to reach the largest number of beneficiaries in the targeted countries.
