Further, the minister thanked Qatar Charity for its efforts, especially in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, providing comprehensive care for hundreds of orphans and children of poor families, and implementing the projects that directly contribute to the development of the country, QC said in a statement.
This came during a visit paid by the minister to Qatar Charity’s office and a dormitory for female students studying in universities. She was received by Mohamed Ouchene, director of QC’s office in the country.
Turkovi? expressed delight with the well-furnished and well-equipped dormitory that benefits more than 100 female students from across the country. She noted that the student housing is comparable to international centres in terms of facilities and is an example in strengthening relations between the Qatari and Bosnian peoples.
The minister said she pays special attention to the projects implemented by QC to contribute to the development of the country. She stressed that Qatar Charity is a notable international humanitarian and charitable organisation, indicating that she would provide all the necessary support to facilitate QC’s work and activities across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Qatar Charity’s office in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 1994 to support the Bosnian people by implementing various projects in line with the plans and programs of the country.
The Bosnia office is characterised by "superb services offered in the field of social welfare, especially for orphans, poor families, students and people with special needs", the statement adds.
QC built a dormitory for female students in the heart of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The location of the dormitory was wisely chosen near the four universities that have various scientific disciplines. The building provides female students studying in universities with a safe, calm and comfortable atmosphere for studies and educational achievement.
