Qatar Charity (QC) has signed an agreement with United Development Company (UDC) to cooperate in humanitarian and community work. The signing of the agreement coincides with International Day of Charity, which is observed annually on September 5. According to the agreement, UDC has become a Charity Partner (CP) and received the CP label as part of QC’s social responsibility programme.
This agreement highlights UDC’s commitment to collaborating as a Charity Partner in QC’s programmes and activities. It also aligns with QC’s dedication to offering comprehensive support and aid to individuals and organisations, demonstrating its social responsibility on both international and local levels.
Under this agreement, UDC will enjoy numerous benefits granted by QC to companies and commercial institutions that join the ‘CP’ programme, in support of the community programmes and humanitarian projects implemented by QC for the targeted groups.
Ahmad Yousef Fakhroo, CEO’s assistant for the Resources Development and Communication sector at QC, expressed his delight at signing the CP agreement with UDC, which is aimed at aiding the needy and supporting community development.
He said, “It is a fortunate coincidence that the signing of this agreement coincides with International of Day Charity, which aims to raise awareness about charitable work and provide a platform for charitable activities worldwide.”
He also emphasised QC’s commitment to expanding community partnership and strengthening the principle of humanitarian collaboration to unite efforts in supporting vulnerable communities. He encouraged all companies and institutions within Qatar to join this programme.
UDC stated that the signing of this agreement aligns with its corporate social responsibility strategy in Qatar, highlighting the importance of recognising UDC, The Pearl Island, and Gewan Island as charity partners. This partnership will support QC’s humanitarian initiatives and provide an active role for The Pearl and Gewan Island communities in Qatar’s humanitarian efforts.
It is important to highlight that the ‘CP’ label is awarded by QC to companies, organisations, and institutions within strategic partnerships according to different conditions related to their social impact and positive influence on those served by QC worldwide. This ‘CP’ mark underscores these entities’ commitment to their social responsibilities.
