Save the Children and Qatar Charity today announced a new partnership to bring more urgent relief to children and families impacted by humanitarian emergencies in the Middle East and around the world.
The new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on the sidelines of the World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar, by Save the Children CEO Inger Ashing and Qatar Charity’s CEO Yousuf bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari.
The partnership will enable Save the Children and Qatar Charity to implement new humanitarian and development programmes and initiatives to support vulnerable children and their families. These programmes may include cash programming, education, health, water and sanitation, food, economic empowerment and childhood, social welfare and social harmony.
To kick off the partnership, Qatar Charity is contributing US$1 million to a US$2 million joint programme with Save the Children to support 2,133 vulnerable and conflict-impacted families through multi-purpose cash assistance.
Inger Ashing, CEO of Save the Children International, said:
“Save the Children warmly welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with Qatar Charity in this major investment in children across the world. This is more important than ever to ensure that children can fulfil their rights and look towards a healthy and secure future. We know this partnership will have a positive impact on the range of services and projects done by both organisations, especially in rapid responses and relief in disasters and emergencies.”
Yousuf bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari, CEO of Qatar Charity, stated:
“This agreement marks a significant strategic step toward strengthening joint humanitarian efforts and expanding positive impact for children and the most vulnerable communities. Our partnership with Save the Children enables us to leverage international expertise and develop innovative programmes that address the needs of targeted groups—particularly children and families affected by crises—while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and delivering top-quality humanitarian services in line with international standards.”
