Qatar Charity (QC), in co-operation with several media professionals, sportspersons, social media influencers, and social activists, launched the ‘Warmth Convoys’ initiative, in support of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 18 countries.
The initiative, which comes as part of QC’s winter drive ‘Warmth and Peace’, will continue until March 1. QC, through this initiative, aims to collect financial and in-kind donations to deliver winter aid to refugees, IDPs, and underprivileged families to meet their winter needs.
The aid, which will include food, shelter, health, and non-food assistance, will contribute to bringing joy to these vulnerable people and lessening their suffering in winter.
The ‘Warmth Convoys’ initiative is a competition in doing good between the northern, central, and southern regions of Qatar. Three teams will contest in fundraising. The Northern Region Team, led by Ibrahim al-Harami, will collect donations at specified collection points in Rawdat Al Hamama, Al Mazrooah, and other areas.
The Central Region Team, led by Abdul Rahman al-Ashkar, will collect donations from Al Kheesa and Bu Hamour to Dukhan. The Southern Region Team, led by Mohsen Jasim, will collect donations from Al Thumama, Al Hilal, Al Matar Al Qadeem, Al Wakra, and Al Wukair to the far southern areas.
In-kind donations will also be made at specific collection points from February 16 to 20. Pieces of jewellery and cars can also be donated for the campaign.
QC urges benefactors and the owners of shops and companies to support the initiative to benefit the largest possible number of refugees and IDPs. One can support the teams by registering through the link (https://www.qcharity.org/en/qa)
