In celebration of the partnership, QF chief financial officer Sheikh Salman bin Hassan al-Thani led Alfardan Group president and CEO Omar Hussain Alfardan on a tour of QF headquarters. The tour was also attended by the management of both organisations.
The agreement paves the way for Alfardan Group to join hands with QF in their shared vision of developing the human capital of Qatar through ‘Tariqi’; a sponsorship programme dedicated to funding students from all around the world to complete their undergraduate studies in Qatar.
Tariqi is the manifestation of Alfardan Group’s philosophy of investing in the education, career opportunities, and the dreams of the next generation - an endeavour that Alfardan Group has been active in for over 15 years.
“The power of businesses with a purpose has never been clearer. We believe in using the strength of our legacy to advocate for broader positive change, inspire other businesses, and make a difference in our communities,” said Omar Hussain Alfardan.
Alfardan Group, which operates in various sectors such as jewellery, automotive, property development, hospitality, exchange, marine and healthcare, will also introduce the recipients of its scholarship to the professional world through internships and job opportunities within the group and its many subsidiaries.
Sheikh Salman al-Thani, said: “Qatar Foundation is dedicated to supporting the human and social development of Qatar through providing quality education and opportunities for everyone – especially young people – to realise their full potential. The Tariqi programme reflects our vision, our values, and our belief in the power of knowledge, and we are delighted to be partnering with Alfardan Group to provide students from throughout the world to shape their future in Qatar.”
