THE team behind the project that was announced as the winner of Cycle 2 of Qatar Foundation’s (QF) Akhlaquna Award on Tuesday has expressed delight and pride for being presented with the accolade by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, chairperson of Qatar Foundation, during QF’s annual Convocation ceremony at Education City.
Mobsron, developed by Nawal al Kurbi, Almazun al Marri and Amal al Gherainig, is an innovative mobile application that provides people with visual impairment with a tool to order food, review ingredients, and compare prices. The project initially stemmed from the belief that it is every human’s right to live a dignified, independent life and be provided with equal opportunities to participate in society.
The objective of the Akhlaquna Award is to highlight the timeless and universal values exhibited by the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), who serves as a role model of great moral character, and guides the values of the award. HH Sheikha Moza first announced the Akhlaquna Award during QF’s Convocation 2017 ceremony, with this year marking Cycle 2 of the initiative.
Nawal al Kurbi, the leader of the initiative, expressed her delight at winning, and the unforgettable experience she shared with her friends and teammates.
“I am very proud that Mobsron has won this prestigious award,” she said. “I couldn’t have achieved this without my teammates. We believe that winning this award will help us to reach a larger audience and take our project to the next level, with QF’s support.”
Almazun al Marri, the initiative’s deputy leader, said: “Each human has the right to live an independent life and it is for this reason that we launched our mobile app. Through this human initiative, we are looking to provide a very effective service to help the blind and visually impaired in Qatar, and hopefully beyond.”
Amal al Gherainig, who is the initiative’s media specialist, said: “My participation in the Akhlaquna Award this year has given me confidence to follow my beliefs without hesitation and to challenge myself.”
Machaille al Naimi, president of Community Development, QF, said: “We are absolutely delighted to announce that Mobsron is the winner of this year’s Akhlaquna Award.
“The ultimate aim of this award is to recognise and celebrate young people who have developed projects that embody exemplary moral character and inspire others to effect positive change in their communities. Mobsron is a great example of how Qatar Foundation, through this award, is committed to helping empower the next generation of leaders, and how our youth are responding to this.”
