Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has welcomed the holy month of Ramadan 1443 AH with a bunch of social, medical and charitable activities within and outside Qatar, under its Ramadan Campaign titled 'Giving Sustains Good', which involves Ramadan-bound and year-round projects worth QR70mn in total.
Notably, QRCS is carrying out Ramadan Iftar, a project that distributes fresh Iftar meals to 70,000 fasting people over 30 days. Another project is Ramadan Provisions, under which vouchers are given to low-income families to purchase diverse food parcels from shopping centers, with a total of 15,620 beneficiaries.
As usual every year, QRCS launches the Cordiality Iftar project to distribute fresh Iftar meals to patients at hospitals and their families. The overall number of targeted beneficiaries is 7,200 throughout Ramadan, a press statement notes.
Just before Eid al-Fitr, the Eid Clothing project will be executed by distributing vouchers to low-income families to purchase new clothes for their children, thus making 575 children feel happy during this religious feast, the statement points out.
Internationally, QRCS’s foreign representation missions will implement the Ramadan Iftar project in 15 countries affected by armed conflict or natural disasters. Diverse food parcels will be distributed to 39,500 families, or around 200,000 refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and poor people in Yemen, Syria, Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank, Somalia, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Sudan, Mali, Albania, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia.
Just as in Qatar, a Zakat ul-Fitr project will be implemented in Yemen, Afghanistan and Syria. From the funds raised as Zakat ul-Fitr, food aid will be distributed to 76,700 beneficiaries within the timeframe dictated by Shariah. Also, vouchers will be given to the families of 2,800 children in Yemen and Syria to purchase new clothes for Eid.
To make these projects happen, all QRCS departments have been working for months to prepare for Ramadan, which brings with it the signs of good, mercy and hope for the vulnerable and the disadvantaged. It is the time when benevolent people are typically
eager to donate to social, charitable and humanitarian activities.
QRCS offers several means to facilitate donation, as follows:
* Donor Service (66666364-44027777); Home Donation Collection (33998898); the QRCS headquarters in Old Salata; donation collection agents/boxes at malls and shopping centres; website (www.qrcs.org.qa); and bank transfer: QIB (QA51QISB000000000110575190014), QNB (QA21QNBA000000000850020196062), QIIB (QA66QIIB000000001111126666003), and Masraf Al Rayan (QA18MAFR000000000011199980003).
