‘Ride for Palestine, a charity cycling tour campaign launched by Qatar Cyclists, in co-operation with Qatar Charity (QC), continues to garner support for a project aimed at restoring damaged houses in Palestine. The campaign aims to collect QR1mn to implement the project to ensure a dignified life for the targeted Palestinian families.
The charitable project will restore 40 houses of the families of orphans, the poor and the needy in the Gaza Strip. The families will be selected in co-operation with the Ministry of Social Development and Family.



The project aims to enhance the living conditions of the expected beneficiaries and alleviate their economic suffering, a press statement notes.
The campaign was launched through ‘Ride for Palestine’, a cycling tour for Palestine, organised by Qatar Cyclists in co-operation with Qatar Charity and the Palestinian Experience House, in addition to a good number of cyclists. The tour saw the participation of nearly 400 people, including citizens and residents, wearing specially designed dresses bearing the colours of the Palestinian flag.

The event organisers emphasized the importance of linking sport to charitable work, and made it clear that the event achieved its main objectives, which are spreading awareness of the importance of sport, collecting donations for the charitable project, and shedding light on the Palestinian cause, which is considered the most important issue for Arabs and Muslims.
Contributions came from sponsors such as Ooredoo, Dukhan Bank, Monoprix and talabat, in addition to several other companies.
The riders made their contribution to the charitable campaign in the form of subscription fees, ranging from QR250 to QR1,000 per person. They were registered through QC’s website.
Qatar Charity urges the philanthropists in Qatar to support the donation campaign to implement the project and contribute to providing an adequate shelter for underprivileged families in the Gaza Strip. They can donate to the campaign through this link: https://qch.qa/CyclingForPLS
There is continuous co-operation between Qatar Charity and Qatar Cyclists, which has resulted in the completion of many projects, especially in the field of
education. The completed projects include Al-Shaimaa Secondary School for Girls in Palestine and two primary schools in Somalia, in addition to other projects.
Qatar Charity has signed a co-operation agreement with Qatar Cyclists in June, aiming to support humanitarian work through sports activities based on social responsibility.
