Qatar Charity rehabilitates two food-processing units in Gaza

Qatar Charity (QC) rehabilitated two food-processing units at the Women and Child Empowerment Centers of the Ministry of Social Development in the Gaza Strip the cost of up to $29,000.

The rehabilitation of the units came with the support of benefactors in Qatar as part of the bakery and traditional food project to provide various high-quality services efficiently and empower women with limited income economically.

The project, which is one of the economic empowerment projects, included rehabilitating the premises, establishing a bakery equipped with all the equipment required for operation such as automatic kneaders, gas and electric ovens, mixers, refrigerators, electronic grinder, and other cooking utensils.

The project has contributed to the employment of some poor women who take care of their families, as the rehabilitation of the two units in the Gaza Strip has provided steady employment for 40 women.

Wafa Mustafa, a mother of six, whose family was jobless, has expressed her happiness at finding her new job at one of these units, which will enable her to support her family with her monthly salary.

During the las year, Qatar Charity implemented 328 income-generating projects in the Gaza Strip at the cost of $740,507, in coordination with many local and governmental institutions.

These projects benefited 328 families with a total of 2,462 persons, who were sponsored by Qatar Charity under the Social Welfare and Sponsorship Programme, in addition to poor families, who were not sponsored.

The projects targeted five main sectors, which are agriculture, fishing, profession and craft, trade, and livestock, to contribute to alleviating the economic and social pressures on orphans and their families, as well as improving their income.
