LuLu Hypermarket Group has presented a donation of QR250,000 to Qatar Charity (QC), a statement said. Demonstrating their support for QC's 'Charity Partner' (CP) programme, the donation was made possible through LuLu Group's annual 'Shop & Donate' initiative, specially launched during the holy month of Ramadan.
The cheque was handed over to Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, QC's director of Programmes and International Development, by Shaijan M O, regional director of LuLu Hypermarket. The ceremony took place at LuLu Regional Office on D-Ring Road in the presence of Shanavas P M, regional manager of LuLu, and other officials from both sides.
Hejji said CP is the largest programme of QC in the field of social responsibility. The CP trademark is awarded to private companies and various bodies and institutions under strategic partnerships, according to different conditions, to support the projects implemented by QC globally.
The QC official expressed gratitude to LuLu Group in Qatar for their generous donation. He commended their consistent support for QC's projects and campaigns, as well as their commitment to community service and humanitarian causes through various agreements.
Hejji, called upon all companies and institutions, public and private alike, to fulfill their societal responsibilities, actively engage in community service, and support humanitarian projects.
Dr Mohamad Althaf, director of LuLu Group International, expressed his joy at partnering with QC, enabling LuLu customers to actively contribute to noble humanitarian causes. He recalled that during his travels, he has witnessed firsthand how QC effectively channels donors' funds to reach those who are truly in need and vulnerable communities worldwide.
Dr Althaf commended Q's steadfast dedication to humanitarian and charitable endeavors, establishing them as one of LuLu's foremost partners. He also pledged LuLu's future support to QC's various programmes.
Over the past five years, QC signed several co-operation agreements with LuLu Hypermarket Qatar. The first agreement allows customers to donate when paying bills at various LuLu Hypermarkets to support charitable projects within and outside Qatar.
The second agreement promotes QC’s Khair Cards to promote charity among shoppers, while the third agreement involves a co-operation under Lulu’s ‘Shop & Donate’ drive, in addition to the CP agreement.
