Qatar Charity organizes a social day for students in Sudan

Qatar Charity (QC) has organized a social day for orphaned students enrolled in Sudan’s Taiba Education City, which was established with funding from a Qatari philanthropist to become one of the largest institutions specialized in the educational care of orphans in the country.

During the social day, the management of the Taiba Education City affirmed its full readiness to start the academic year and launch a unique educational experience for distinguished orphans who were selected after conducting a series of tests and special interviews with them.

The management also noted that the city would create an educational and healthy environment, which will help students develop their skills and abilities to contribute positively to society.

Ahmed Al-Hit, Director of the Taiba Education City, which will be officially inaugurated shortly, said that the goal of the social day is to reassure parents that the city would provide quality education. He also noted administrative and academic arrangements made to select qualified teachers for the primary school in coordination with the Ministry of Education, which supervises the entire educational process of the education city.

Eng. Omar Abdel Aziz, project manager of Qatar Charity’s Sudan office, provided a full explanation of the project and its various components, including primary and secondary schools, a mosque, playgrounds, a dormitory, an activity hall, administrative buildings and a health centre, which is expected to provide services to those residing in areas surrounding the Taiba Education City in Omdurman.

The mothers of the orphans expressed their satisfaction with the arrangements and supplies of the education city, noting that they feel that their children are in a safe place, while many orphans were delighted with having an opportunity to study at the Taiba Education City.

The Taiba Education City covers a vast area of 9000 square metres, targeting the care of nearly 600 orphans. It is expected to benefit 6,600 persons; including orphans, their families, and those most in need from neighbouring villages.

Officials at the Ministry of Education in Khartoum State have previously described the Taiba Education City as a pioneering educational project that is a qualitative addition to the educational process and the orphan service and care.
