Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) Sunday inaugurated a new project establishing the Al-Nasr Charitable Village in Jarabulus, Aleppo Governorate, Syria, which will benefit nearly 80 families and create job opportunities.
QRCS secretary-general Ali bin Hassan al-Hammadi, along with Turkish Red Crescent administrative board member Al-Nasr Ramazan Sayg?l? and his accompanying delegation, took part in the foundation stone-laying ceremony and were briefed on the progress and mechanisms of work.
The project, to be implemented in partnership with the Turkish Red Crescent, is funded by a generous donation from Qatari philanthropist Mohamed bin Nasr Hassan al-Nasr.
A QRCS delegation is also currently visiting Turkey, comprising Dr Fawzi Oussedik, head of International Relations and International Humanitarian Law; Naglaa al-Hajj, head of International Development; and Mohamed Rashid Sunaid Al-Marri, relief volunteer.
The QRCS delegation toured the 'Turkish Red Crescent Sevgi Butiq Shop' in Jarabulus to learn about the mechanism of work and attend the distribution of winter wear for displaced families. They also attended the celebration site near the village of Al-Jamel village, Jarabulus.
The project aims to secure decent housing for the poorest displaced families in northern Syria with a special focus on the families of widows, orphans, and persons with special needs. It consists of 80, 55sqm 2-BHK apartments in 20 reinforced concrete two-story buildings.
Moreover, the project involves the construction of eight shops to create jobs for those in need. Facilities will also be constructed, including mosque, school, clinic, water tank, water supply system, water tower, roads, sidewalks, public parks, and administration building.
Upon completion of the project, the apartments will be handed over to 80 destitute families or 480 beneficiaries. It will also create more than 150 job opportunities for the residents, including 900 beneficiaries and their family members.
This year, QRCS is working on new projects to build a total of 1,116 housing units in three separate projects. Two years ago, it constructed 208 apartments in Al-Bab city, 116 in the “Hilal Village” project and 92 in the QRCS Town. It also constructed around 1,100 homes in five separate projects in the countryside of Idlib governorate over the past five years.
The delegation visited Al-Baydaa internally displaced person (IDP) camp in Jarabulus, distributing 150 food parcels and replacing 40 snow-damaged tents as part of the emergency response project for the camps in northern Syria. The project involves replacing 510 damaged tents, furnishing their floors with gravel, and providing 510 non-food kits, food parcels, and Covid-19 infection prevention.
In addition, the project will also provide comprehensive (preventive and treatment) primary health care services at two health centres and deploy a mobile clinic in Idlib. The centres and clinic were supplied with medications and medical consumables for free distribution to the patients. The total number of beneficiaries of the project is estimated at more than 2,550.
