123,000 beneficiaries of Qatar Charity’s Ramadan projects in Pakistan

Nearly 123,000 people in Pakistan are expected to benefit from Qatar Charity’s projects implemented during the current holy month as part of its “Ramadan, the Gift of Giving” campaign for the year1440 AH.

Qatar Charity has been implementing the Iftar project at four major hospitals in three provinces of Pakistan since the first day of the holy month, which are the Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Nishtar Hospital in Multan, Panjab Province, Gulab Devi Hospital in Lahore, Punjab Province, and Sandeman Hospital in Quetta, Baluchistan Province. Qatar Charity carries out the project in cooperation with the Bait-ul-Mal, a government institution in Pakistan.

These hospitals are provided with 500 ready-to-eat meals daily, part of which is distributed to patients directly, and the other part is distributed through Ramadan tables located in the hospital yard, which are attended by patient attendants and medical staff.

Besides, four Ramadan tables have been organized in the Punjab Province. Each of them provides 500 meals daily in areas suffering from high rates of poverty and malnutrition as well as high temperatures in the summer, benefiting approximately 60,000 people throughout the holy month of Ramadan.

Qatar Charity also organized Ramadan tables in Kashmir for its sponsored orphans along with their mothers, in addition to other Ramadan tables organized in Swat, Tando Muhammad Khan, Muzaffargarh and other areas. These tables are held in public parks and mosques.

Qatar Charity will soon implement a food project to distribute 8,000 packages containing essential food items in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir and Sindh at the cost of 1.6 million riyals.

It is worth mentioning that Qatar Charity has allocated 54.5 million riyals for its Ramadan projects implemented this year outside Qatar. Nearly 2.6 people in 30 countries are expected to benefit from these projects.
