QC celebrates International Day for Social Justice

On the International Day for Social Justice, observed on February 20 each year, which aims to promote economic and social justice for all, Qatar Charity (QC) has highlighted its humanitarian and developmental projects implemented in Somalia and Pakistan during 2024.These projects, executed with generous support from philanthropists in Qatar, reflect QC's commitment to the principles of "just transition" within the context of sustainable development, a statement said.After a series of humanitarian crises in Somalia, including severe droughts, sudden floods, and ongoing conflicts, QC has supported the Somali people through the implementation of around 300 humanitarian and developmental projects in various regions and provinces, with a total cost exceeding QR40mn, benefitting more than 600,000 people.These projects focused on balancing the needs of both people and the environment, with initiatives in the sectors of water and sanitation, food security, education, health, social welfare, economic empowerment, and social housing.QC implemented sustainable projects in Pakistan during 2024, benefitting more than 990,000 people through approximately 1,800 projects in the fields of water and sanitation, education, health, and economic empowerment. These projects were a direct response to the crises facing the country, whether due to harsh weather conditions or ongoing conflicts.QC seeks to enhance its collaboration with international organisations such as Unicef and the World Food Programme, with the aim of coordinating efforts and achieving a greater impact in crisis-affected areas. In 2024, several cooperation agreements were signed with these entities in Somalia and Pakistan.
