The ongoing Ramadan Book Fair organised by Ministry of Culture is supporting a number of Qatari productive families.
Entrepreneur Aisha Sultan Malallah, who transforms old tyres into furnishings used in homes, camps, schools and parks, said that the diversity of the projects enriches the experience of visitors.
Malallah, who started her project two years ago and participated in many exhibitions, described the Ramadan Book Fair as a unique opportunity to support Qatari productive families, especially in the atmosphere of the holy month.
She appreciated the support by the Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Social Development and Family for the projects of the Qatari productive families.
“I hope that these efforts will be strengthened by various parties and the authorities concerned to enhance the role of entrepreneurs in supporting the national economy,” Malallah added.
Noura al-Ali, owner of a project for the manufacture of ceramics and Garangao gifts, said that she aims to support the revival of the heritage through the manufacture of pottery and gifts.
She said the Ramadan Book Fair is an ideal platform to market such products, which were hitherto promoted through the social media.
Amna al-Dahnim, who sells kits for handicraft products so that buyers can make the items themselves, thereby encouraging creativity and innovation, said that the process develops skills and provides a unique experience for young people and children.
She also praised the management of the Ramadan Book Fair for providing the pavilion and the support extended to Qatari productive families.
Mashael al-Kuwari, owner of a project specialising in limited edition *abayas, said that there are specific designs for the Ramadan season and holidays.
She nurtured her hobby for designing clothes by attending courses about fashion to hone her skills.
Al-Kuwari said that Qatari entrepreneurs and the productive families receive continuous support from the Ministry of Social Development and Family and the Ramadan Book Fair organised by the Ministry of Culture.
“I hope that the support provided to entrepreneurs will inspire Qatari productive families to boost their role in the development process,” she said.
