As a gesture of social solidarity with the vulnerable, Qatar Charity launches a winter campaign every year to contribute to easing the sorrow of the displaced and refugees around the world. The current "Warmth and Peace" winter campaign aims to reach nearly 1mn persons in 19 countries across Africa, Asia, and Europe at a total cost of approximately 66 million Qatari riyals.
The campaign focuses on the countries going through crises and exceptional circumstances, as well as on those facing a harsh winter with temperatures below zero.
It seeks to provide aid in the fields of food, shelter, health, and education, in addition to giving winter bags to orphans sponsored by Qatar Charity in Kosovo, Palestine, Nepal, Pakistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Tunisia, Lebanon, and Jordan.
Moreover, Qatar Charity was chosen as one of Qatar’s top 10 most supportive brands that have participated in supporting the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on phone interviews conducted by Ipsos.
Qatar Charity has provided $24mn in health assistance to nearly 60 countries around the world to help them fight the coronavirus.
Since the beginning of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Qatar Charity has been keen to contribute to the international efforts exerted to limit the spread of the pandemic.
In partnership with United Nations Children’s Fund, Qatar Charity has signed an agreement that will provide water, sanitation, and hygiene services for Syrian refugees in Jordan.
Furthermore, Qatar Charity has set up initiatives that aim to provide relief to victims of the Sudan flood, under the “Peace for Sudan” campaign, and those affected by the massive explosion in Lebanon under the “Lebanon in Our Hearts” campaign.
