Their generosity not only provides immediate relief but also fosters a sense of security and stability for the children and their families.”
Rahela Khatun, a mother of two orphans, said: “The food we received from Qatar Charity has been a great help. It will ease our burden and allow us to focus on other essential needs without constantly worrying about our next meal.”
