Qatar Charity (QC), with the support of donors in Qatar, seeks to benefit 1.6 million people in 32 countries worldwide from its ‘Ramadan of Hope’ drive, at an estimated cost of 56.7 million Qatari Riyals.

Qatar Charity, through its field offices and partners, aims to implement three Ramadan projects, which are ‘Feed the Fasting’, Zakat Al Fitr, and Eid Clothing. It also intends to distribute food aid to the displaced, refugees, and the needy in disaster and crisis-hit areas.

Feed the Fasting

The “Feed the Fasting” project includes the distribution of ready-to-eat Iftar meals and food baskets that contain essential foodstuffs for a family for a month. It seeks to benefit 539,590 people at an expected cost of 22.2 million Qatari Riyals.

Zakat Al-Fitr

The distribution of Zakat al-Fitr aims to reduce the financial burden on needy families and share the joy of Eid with them. Some 456,700 people are expected to benefit from the project at an anticipated cost of 5.9 million Qatari riyals.

Eid Clothing

This project provides clothes to orphans to share the joy of Eid with them. Some 4,390 children are expected to benefit from the project, at an estimated cost of more than 878,000 Qatari riyals.

Relief Aid to Crisis-Hit Regions

The poor, the displaced, and refugees, including the Rohingya refugees, are expected to benefit from the relief aid in 25 countries, especially in Syria and neighboring countries, Yemen, Somalia, and Palestine.

The assistance will include the distribution of food baskets, in addition to operating bakeries in some countries like northern Syria to provide bread for free. Some 552,000 people are expected to benefit from the aid at an estimated cost of nearly 26.8 million Qatari riyals.
