The Al Furqan Initiative, under Qatar Charity (QC), sent a senior delegation to the Qatar Centre in Tirana, Albania, to review the progress of a comprehensive educational programme benefiting 300 orphaned children aged 6-18.
Designed to nurture both knowledge and character, the programme combines Qur’an memorisation, Arabic language instruction, Islamic values education, and a range of educational and cultural activities that promote confidence, responsibility, and positive personal development.
The delegation was led by Al Furqan Initiative ambassador Mohammed Yahya Taher and included executive assistant to the chief executive Ahmed Fakhroo.
The visit by the delegation was aimed at reviewing the programme’s implementation, assess its outcomes, and observe firsthand its transformative impact on the children it serves.
During the visit, the delegation toured classrooms, observed Qur’an memorisation and Arabic language sessions, and received a comprehensive briefing on the centre’s educational approach, which integrates academic learning with moral and spiritual development to instill strong values and build resilient young personalities.
The delegation also attended a Qur’an Memorisation and Recitation Competition, where students demonstrated clear evidence of the programme’s success and progress achieved.
The event concluded with an awards ceremony honouring outstanding participants and encouraging them to continue their journey of learning and memorising the Holy Qur’an.
A 24-hour educational camp was also organised for 50 children, featuring inspirational lectures on the role of the Holy Qur’an in shaping character, alongside interactive educational, cultural, and recreational activities that strengthened teamwork, discipline, self-confidence, and leadership skills.
Delegation members expressed their appreciation for the high standard of implementation and organisation, commending the dedication of the programme staff and highlighting the visible positive impact on the children’s Qur’anic achievement, personal conduct, and ethical development.
The initiative forms part of Qatar Charity’s broader commitment to empowering vulnerable children through sustainable education.
The curriculum begins with Arabic letters and language fundamentals before guiding students through the memorisation of selected chapters of the Holy Qur’an from Surat Ad-Duha to Surat An-Nas, while progressively strengthening their recitation skills.
