A Striking Success of the Fifth Version of "the National Program to Reinforce a Code of Values"

• Alghatrifi: Without the support of people of Qatar, patients of Dar Alshafqa would become homeless.
• Director of QC office in Yemen: We hope that benefactors in Qatar continue their support to enable Dar Alshafqa complete its humanitarian mission.

Taking into account the conditions of patients and their companions, QC contributed through a charitable contribution from a benefactor of State of Qatar in supporting the operating budget of " Dar Alshafqa” as to take care of kidney failure patients and cancer in Yemen after they were leaving to nowhere as a result of support stoppage from the donors.

Qatar Charity (International Charity Organization) support contributed to reducing the suffering of kidney failure and cancer patients coming from the Yemeni provinces to Sanaa, where Dar Alshafqa provides them with food and transportation to and from hospitals.

Patients’ displacement

Dar Alshafqa was founded in 2008 and it has served about 3000 patients during the past period, providing them with adequate shelters, food, and transportation to hospitals for treatment. Yet, the situation has worsened after the recent crisis in Yemen many people were displaced from their provinces  and dozens of patients came to Dar Alshafqa which already suffers from a significant shortfall to accommodate the growing number of patients.

Saving dozens of patients         

Mansour Alghatrifi, Director of Dar Alshafqa, said that the support of the people of Qatar through QC has provided part of the operational budget which contributed to saving dozens of homeless patients. Alghatrifi stressed that QC support enabled them to continue to provide health and nutrition services to hundreds of patients despite the urgent need to more support due to increasing number of patients who were displaced from different regions because of the difficult situation in Yemen.

Alghatrifi called upon humanitarian institutions to provide more support and help to Dar Alshafqa to develop and expand its activities, stressing on his great confidence of QC and Qatari benefactors who always provide much more support to the Yemeni people.

Support of benefactors

Mr. Nasr Qayid Alzzaeim, Director of Qatar Charity office in Yemen, said that QC has launched this humanitarian initiative to promote its humanitarian efforts in Yemen, providing everything that would help the Yemeni people to overcome this difficult situation. It was unreasonable to leave hundreds of patients who suffer from incurable disease, so we contributed to help and support Dar Alshafqa, hoping that benefactors in Qatar will continue their support.

Alzzaeim pointed out that QC is aware of health and humanitarian problems resulting from the crisis in Yemen, stressing that QC will do its best to support Dar Alshafqa and provide medicine, food and clothes to the patients.

The operational budget of Dar Alshafqa is QR 470,000 annually, in addition to food expenses, QR 220,000, and other expenses, including helping patients in their treatment and transportation.

The traditional bakeries were established in remote villages to provide a reasonable income to their owners.

QC implemented Income Generating Projects in central Mauritania region and established 10 traditional bakeries in different villages in Brakna Region, which empowered the families economically and served 8000 people from the surrounding areas. Last year, QC established 30 bakeries in several Mauritanian villages and districts benefited 24,000 people.

The traditional bakeries were established in Barkéol, Municipality of Alghabra and other villages such as Bouhrat, Wadi Alnnays, Bambira and Jabb Sundaj.

The bakeries were constructed according to certain specification to avoid damage caused to bakeries built of mud. They consist of small rooms for preparing the dough and wood-fired ovens due to power cut in the areas.

Before QC built the new bakeries, the old bakeries were very bad and rickety as they were built of mud and therefore collapsed because of rain or high temperatures in the summer season.

Breadwinners suffer

In those villages breadwinners work in agriculture during monsoon rains but because rain amount is not heavy they emigrated their villages to cities looking for job opportunities, leaving their wives bear the burden of raising their children for several months.

Positive results

The results of this project were very positive as it provided the targeted families with job opportunities while provided the families with bread at reasonable prices.

Breadwinners expressed their happiness to those income-generating projects including the bakeries which were built according to modern specifications and resistant to difficult natural conditions after they were working in old bakeries for low wages barely enough to feed their families.

They also extended their gratitude and sincere thanks to the donors of Qatar and QC for their developmental role in Mauritania, particularly in remote and rural areas which are characterized by limited services compared to urban areas.

Economic empowerment

It is noteworthy to mention that the traditional bakeries established through Income Generating Projects contributed to improve the economic conditions of the beneficiaries as they provided them with a reasonable income and provided families living in remote and rural areas with bread.

QC has already established 30 traditional bakeries distributed over several villages and rural areas which have a very limited access to basic social services.

Following a call by international organizations that raised the alarm, Qatar Charity has begun finalizing a campaign to combat the cholera epidemic in Yemen. The campaign is expected to benefit 40,000 people.

It will focus on providing drinkable water in the areas most in need, in order to prevent people from using polluted water that results in the infection, and to support health centers to offer treatment and medicine for the affected people, especially as most health centers have been affected by the Yemeni crisis.

Imminent danger

Mr. Mohammed Al Kaabi, Director of Qatar Charity’s Relief Department, said, "QC has followed the Yemeni crisis since its beginning and has launched Emergency Relief Campaigns and Projects in various regions. However, the magnitude of the current crisis is great and our brothers are in danger. International organizations have launched repeated appeals to accelerate the fight against the spreading cholera epidemic in Yemen, which prompted us to launch this campaign, which we hope will benefit 40,000 people.”

Moreover, he appealed to the generous donors to respond quickly to support the campaign, pointing out that every passing day the suffering increases and many lives may unfortunately be lost while they could have been saved if the necessary support had been available.

To Donate for the campaign

It is noteworthy that, through certain stocks, benefactors in Qatar are urged to donate for the benefit of their affected brothers in Yemen. The stocks are: “Water supply” which is worth 100 QR, the "food basket" which is worth 300 QR, and "medical services" with a worth of QR 500. Donation to this campaign is also available using one of these means: send a text message “sms” having “YEAV” symbol to 92632 to donate 50 QR, and to 92642 to donate  100 QR, and to 92428 to donate 500 QR.

Donors can also Donate to the Campaign via e-mail to QC qcharity.org or via the hotline: 44667711, or through the collection points and QC’s self-service devices in the malls.

Urgent humanitarian appeal

The United Nations has announced that an estimated 7.6 million people are living in areas vulnerable to the transmission of cholera in Yemen. The UN also mentioned the inadequate sanitation and assured that all displacement places and shelters are at risk of transmission of the disease. Besides, Red Cross stressed that 180 people have died of the disease since late April, and the situation requires immediate intervention from international and regional organizations to reduce the risk of the spread of cholera in Yemen.
