Qatar Charity has built 256 fully equipped mosques across Bangladesh between July 2024 and July 2025. The initiative provided safe spaces for worship, restoring a sense of peace and spiritual comfort to more than 51,200 worshippers in rural and semi-urban areas, and enabling them to perform their religious duties in a faith-filled environment. Qatar Charity said in a statement yesterday that the construction of these mosques comes in response to an urgent need in the targeted areas, where many worshippers had long prayed in structures made of tin or mud — lacking basic safety and comfort. During the rainy season, water flooded the floors, while in summer, the absence of fans made congregational prayers extremely difficult. Over the past five years, Qatar Charity has built more than 600 mosques across Bangladesh, providing a safe, dignified, and welcoming environment for over 150,000 worshippers to pray.
