QC completes 280 development projects in Indonesia
Qatar Charity (QC)’s office in Indonesia managed to complete 280 development projects in the first five months of 2018 to benefit thousands of people in the country.
The initiatives, which include educational and income-generating projects, social housing units, mosques and water wells, were implemented at a cost of QR12mn, QC said in a statement. As many as 30 income-generating projects were implemented to economically empower the beneficiaries, including mothers of orphans and poor families. These projects were assigned to the beneficiaries after they successfully passed a training period while making sure that they could manage the projects, the statement noted.These income-generating projects included dairy cattle, shops, cottage industries, harvesting machines, fuel carts, portable carts (mobile groceries) and others.Since QC’s office was opened in Indonesia in 2006, it has implemented a total of 1,818 income-generating projects, 165 projects annually, for needy people. This reflects “QC’s efforts to economically empower those in need and aid in their transition from the need for help and care to sustainable development in order to preserve their human dignity”, the organisation stressed.
