Qatar Charity (QC) has announced the Qatari champion athlete Mutaz Barshim as its humanitarian ambassador. This aims to support QC’s efforts to spread awareness of humanitarian issues in the community, and garner support for its charitable projects and initiatives implemented within Qatar and globally.
The announcement was made at a ceremony attended by QC CEO Yousuf bin Ahmed al-Kuwari. An agreement was signed between QC and Barshim.
Under the agreement, Barshim will participate in various local and international conferences and the field visits of QC, attend its events and activities, and market a project or campaign for QC through social media. Besides, he will take part in organising local fundraising events, in addition to adopting and marketing a charitable project, and contributing to educating the public about QC's humanitarian efforts locally, regionally, and internationally.
Barshim is regarded as one of the best high jumpers in the history of athletics in the world. The Qatari champion won the title in three different versions: London 2017, Doha 2019, Eugene USA 2022.
“Qatar Charity is proud to have Barshim as its humanitarian ambassador,” said al-Kuwari, noting the great status and wide-scale presence the champion has in the field of sports at the local, regional, and international levels due to the successes he has achieved.
The QC CEO explained that the voluntary mission of the international athlete Barshim and other well-known figures is a qualitative addition to charitable work, due to their influential role in spreading awareness of humanitarian issues and mobilising support for projects and initiatives that serve the needy in poor communities and those affected by disasters and crises.
He indicated that QC is keen to utilise all the energies, capabilities and experiences of individuals and organisations in carrying out humanitarian work to reach the best achievements and make the greatest impact.
On the sidelines of the signing of the agreement, Barshim expressed his delight with being the humanitarian ambassador of Qatar Charity, indicating that this comes as part of his duty towards the community and religion. He added that influencers from various fields should do voluntary and charitable work and contribute to raising awareness about humanitarian issues and serving those in need.
