 “al khaliji is proud to support Qatar Autism Society to help make a difference in the lives of persons with special needs and their families,” said al-Jaidah.
“Developing the full potential of people and empowering them to achieve personal and professional fulfilment are important attributes of the human and social development pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030. These goals are also al khaliji’s goals.”
“We look forward to full acceptance from our community towards persons with autism, good understanding for their differences and their real inclusion in all the fields,” said Sheikha Jawaher Fahad Jassim al-Thani, president, Qatari Autism Society
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterised by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, speech and non-verbal communication.
A number of non-profit organisations have benefited from the social responsibility activities and initiatives established by al khaliji, in addition to its wide range of charitable activities within the country.
In the area of social well-being, this year al khaliji supported Qatar Society of Rehabilitation of Special Needs, Qatar Cancer Society and Ehsan Center to name a few.
