Qatar Charity’s ‘Al-Aqraboon’ initiative supports persons in debt

The ‘Al-Aqraboon’ initiative of Qatar Charity (QC), with the support of the benevolent people of Qatar, managed to relieve 16 persons in debt of their troubles by settling their debts to bring social stability to their families.

Faisal Rashid Al Fehaida, CEO’s assistant for the Program and Community Development Sector at Qatar Charity, praised the response of the benefactors in Qatar to the ‘Al-Aqraboon’ drive launched by Qatar Charity in the early days of the holy month of Ramadan to benefit those in dept and humanitarian cases, thanking everyone who donated to or supported the campaign.

Al Fehaida urged donors in Qatar to continue supporting the initiative during the remaining days of Ramadan to multiply their rewards, noting that the initiative aims to provide QR 100 million aid to those in debt and humanitarian cases in the country to relieve them of their troubles and share with them the joy of Eid.

In the second week of Ramadan, Qatar Charity announced the launch of a campaign for persons in debt and humanitarian cases under the ‘Al-Aqraboon’ initiative, and launched the ‘Al-Aqraboon’ app.

The Al-Aqraboon app, which is the first of its kind in Qatar, and the new updates of Qatar Charity’s app will contribute to easily submitting aid applications for urgent humanitarian cases, and meeting donation and urgent assistance requests.

The Al-Aqraboon initiative and app stem from the Hadith “I think you should spend it on your nearest relatives”, in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has urged to do good for the benefit of relatives. The initiative and app came to contribute to the achievement of Qatar National Vision 2030, in the cultural, societal, economic, health and environmental fields. Both, the initiative and app, affirm Qatar Charity's attention towards the local community service, as well as, its keenness to use digital tools to carry out its work transparently and quickly.
