Qatar Charity (QC), in co-operation with Mauritania’s ministry of social action, childhood and family, has inaugurated a sewing workshop in Nouakchott to support female graduates of the Women’s Empowerment Training Centre.
The project, implemented through the QC’s Mauritania branch, targets breadwinners of vulnerable families and aims to enhance their economic empowerment through sustainable income-generating opportunities.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Lalla Fatimetou Mint Seddik Ould Larbi, adviser to the minister of social action, childhood and family; Fahd Salem al-Dosari, chargé d’affaires at Qatar’s embassy in Mauritania; Akhyarhoum Ould El Mostafa, deputy governor of Nouakchott West; Eng. Omer Abdelaziz Mohamed, country director of Qatar Charity’s Mauritania branch; Yent Agjereb, director of the Women’s Empowerment Training Centre; and several officials from the ministry and QC.
Speaking at the event, Mohamed highlighted the strong partnership between Qatar Charity and the ministry, noting that the project reflects the organisation’s commitment to promoting sustainable economic empowerment.
He said the workshop aims to provide Women’s Empowerment Training Centre graduates with employment opportunities and a stable source of income.
Al-Dosari said the workshop is an example of the strong co-operation between Qatar and Mauritania and reflects their shared commitment to supporting vulnerable groups and advancing economic and social empowerment.
Meanwhile, Larbi said the project helps build the capacities of young women and enhance their economic independence by providing them with skills needed in the labour market.
