Qatar Charity launched its Ramadan of Hope campaign for the current year 1442 AH 2021 AD, which will be implemented in 33 countries (Qatar and 32 countries around the world). The cost is expected to reach about QR168mn, and the number of those targeted are estimated to be 2.2mn. The campaign will depend on the donations of charitable people in Qatar and their support.
Given that Ramadan is coming while the world is still facing Covid-19 pandemic, Qatar Charity has affirmed its keenness to take precautionary measures in the seasonal projects that it will implement within the framework of the campaign and to maintain the requirements of public safety. The drive will focus on distributing food and meals individually for the beneficiaries, using cars designated for this purpose, and it has also made it easier for donors to donate their zakat and charity through its application, website, developed services, and other various digital tools.
The Ramadan campaign includes main seasonal projects: Iftar for the fasting persons, food baskets and meals, the distribution of Zakat Al Fitr, and Eid clothing inside and outside Qatar.
This came in the official press conference held to launch the Ramadan of Hope campaign. The conference was attended by CEO's assistant for the Programme and Community Development Sector of Qatar Charity, Faisal bin Rashid al-Fuhaida, Director of the Emergency and Relief Department at Qatar Charity Ahmed al-Rumaihi, Director of the Customer Service Department at Qatar Charity Abdulaziz Jassim Hajji and Director of the Media and Communication Department Ahmed Saleh al-Ali.
