Lojain is renowned for her philanthropic campaigns supporting young refugees in Syria and children affected by wars, political conflicts and natural disasters in Somalia and north Kenya.
Lojain will be an integral and effective member in the region’s volunteer efforts. Her humanitarian efforts are closely aligned with Rota’s core mission, which extends assistance to people affected by crises around the world through various initiatives and educational volunteers’ trips.
As a Rota goodwill ambassador, Lojain will represent Rota in a number of local, regional and international events. She will be travelling on volunteers’ educational trips to a number of Asian and Arab countries where Rota currently operates.
Lojain’s inaugural trip as
Rota goodwill ambassador was a volunteer trip to Indonesia,
her first of many volunteer trips. Lojain joined the volunteers in all their voluntary and educational activities, which were delivered to the beneficiary children in Indonesia.
“Rota is honoured to have Lojain Omran as a goodwill ambassador who is well renowned for her charitable campaigns,” said Essa al-Mannai, Rota’s executive director. “Rota is working hard to consolidate efforts with all of those who can support its mission through which we are looking forward to deliver education to all the children who have been unwillingly deprived of its blessings.”
Commenting on her appointment as Rota’s goodwill ambassador, Lojain said: “The world is full of struggles and wars, yet I possess the desire to create a positive impact among others. Education is the most important step forward in changing societies for the better, and we must all work together to promote it. The late Nelson Mandela once said – ‘education is the most important weapon we can use’. With this in mind, I am proud to be part of Rota and to accompany the charity in its journey towards achieving a common goal. We see hope everywhere we go and this is why we must also provide hope.”
Lojain, among other local, regional and international celebrities, participated in Rota’s fifth Gala Dinner charity event in Doha recently, which raised over $21mn.
The Gala Dinner was held under the patronage of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and the leadership of HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, chairperson of Rota’s board of directors.
