Doha Bank has donated QR100,000 through the Qatar Red Crescent (QRC) to support the humanitarian efforts in war-ravaged Syria.
Sheikh Fahad bin Mohamed bin Jabor al-Thani, chairman, Doha Bank, had issued the instructions to donate the money to support the efforts of securing the basic needs of the Syrian people during the harsh winter.
Sheikh Fahad expressed his thanks to the QRC for their continued efforts to support the distressed families of the Syrian community.
He also thanked the staff and volunteers who devoted a considerable amount of their time and efforts to help the people facing difficult living conditions.
Saad bin Shaheen al-Kaabi, director, resources mobilisation and investment at the QRC, expressed charity’s deep sense of gratitude to Doha Bank.
He urged all banks and business sectors to exercise their corporate social
responsibility this way.
“QRC’s vision is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity, rallying and engaging all business sectors and civil societies to support this noble cause,” Al-Kaabi said.
“For three years, we have been supporting the Syrian people with medical services and relief items. QRC has a mechanism of delivering such services. The money raised will be used to provide the displaced Syrian people, inside Syria or on the borders, with some basic needs,” Al-Kaabi added.
Sheikh Fahad praised the humanitarian role played by the Qatari government and its people and the support they extend to Syrian people through charity organisations and individual donors.
The donated amount was handed over at Doha Bank Tower by Khlaifa Abdulla al-Kaabi, acting head - recovery department, on behalf of Doha Bank, to QRC represented by Saad bin Shaheen al-Kaabi, director of resources mobilisation and investment, and Hamid Moharrar, head of corporate resources mobilisation at QRC.
