Qatar Charity’s “Souq Ataa” exhibition continues at Community College

Qatar Charity (QC), in cooperation with the Community College of Qatar (CCQ) and the "Do Good" initiative, held the exhibition of “Souq Ataa”, a charity market, at CCQ’s   female campus in Lusail, with the aim of supporting students who are unable to afford the cost of the study.

The exhibition will continue until Thursday, targeting female students of universities, small entrepreneurs and women in general.

The exhibition has 70 pavilions that include a variety of goods such as traditional clothes, abayas, perfumes, accessories, ornaments, traditional foods and beverages and other products that capture the audience's attention.

Qatar Charity has participated in the exhibition with a pavilion that includes publications, brochures and pamphlets to introduce Qatar Charity’s projects and showcase its marketing products.

Qatar Charity urged the public to visit the exhibition, because it supports a charity project for students. The proceeds of the market will be used to provide tuition fees, school bags, transportation, books and other necessary items for the students.

The "Souq Ataa" is an annual event aimed at organizing three charity markets through various small projects of women traders, whether they are from the university or not, and marketing their projects on the campus to encourage and motivate them to continue their projects. Such events serve Qatar National Vision 2030 in terms of human and economic development

“Souq Ataa” aims at developing personal capabilities of female students and sharpening their skills to implement small projects successfully. It also brings broader opportunities for creativity, innovation and participation.

Ali Gharib, director of Programs and Public Relations at Qatar Charity, said, “this event falls within Qatar Charity’s area of concern, as it attaches great attention to education and contributes in supporting students belonging to low-income families.”

Qatar Charity is always keen to cooperate with relevant stakeholders, entrepreneurs and educational institutions in the service of this noble goal, Gharib noted, thanking all those, who supported this exhibition, especially CCQ and the “Do Good” initiative.

Dr. Mohammed Al Nuaimi, president of CCO said, "The charity market is a platform for our students to demonstrate their talents and creativity and sharpen their skills through the interaction with the public.”

Fatima Saqr Al Muraikhi from the “Do Good” initiative, said, "Through this event, we aim to encourage students to enrich their sense of community, involve them in such charitable initiatives and promote a culture of social responsibility among them.”
