The 'Community Markets' project aims to provide multiple outlets for productive families free of charge. It will include 29 shops for selling sweets, traditional foods, traditional clothes, abayas and perfumes, as well as restaurants and others, Qatar News Agency reports.
In addition, the project includes a social development centre to train productive families in handicrafts and on the best practices to enable and encourage them to establish their own companies, thus contributing to enhancing the economic and social development and prosperity of Qatar.
Selection of beneficiaries of the project will be done through a lottery, which will be attended by representatives from the MADLSA, the Endowments Department of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and UDC.
