Nasser Ali al-Ali, the chairman of Nasser Al Ali Enterprises, recently handed over a cheque worth QR30,000 to the Nepal-based Madarsa Razaqua Shamsul Uloomi. The money will be used to educate disadvantaged Muslim children. 
Established in 2014, the school is located in Siraha, a central plain district of Nepal. It has about 40 students from lower income Muslim families and five teachers. The school also runs free computer and English language courses.  Nasser al-Ali says that every child in this world has the right to education and feels that it is his duty to support some of them. “Education will change their lives.” Al-Ali said he plans to visit the school next year. 
According to Mohammed Reza, management committee member of the school, al-Ali came to know about the school from a youth who works in his company. He added that al-Ali contributes hundreds of thousands of Nepali rupees to schools every month.
Al-Ali is also taking care of more than 200 orphaned children in Nepal, in addition to establishing another school in the mid-hill district of Gorkha in western Nepal. He sends QR5,000 to this school every month since 2010.
