Qatar Charity (QC) has signed a cooperation agreement with Jordan’s Ministry of Education to launch the construction of the Al-Hilaliya Primary School for Boys in the Madaba Governorate.
The agreement was signed by Saleh Al-Merri, the general supervisor of Qatar Charity’s office in Jordan, in the presence of the Qatari Ambassador to Jordan, HE Sheikh Saud bin Nasser bin Jassim Al-Thani, and the Minister of Education, Dr. Azmi Mahafzah.
The agreement outlines the construction of a primary school covering approximately 1,300 square metres, featuring 12 classrooms capable of accommodating 400 students annually.
The school will also include a range of essential educational facilities. The total cost of the project is estimated at 450,000 Jordanian dinars.
This collaboration is part of Qatar Charity’s continuous efforts to support humanitarian projects, including educational, developmental, and emergency relief initiatives, as well as community
welfare.
Saleh Al-Merri emphasized that Qatar Charity is committed to enhancing cooperation with the Jordanian government and trusted local organisations to consolidate efforts for the benefit of humanitarian causes. He expressed gratitude for this partnership, which aims to provide an ideal learning environment for students.
Qatar’s Ambassador to Jordan, HE Sheikh Saud bin Nasser Al-Thani, underscored that this agreement is part of broader efforts to strengthen the educational sector by creating positive and conducive learning environments. He highlighted Qatar’s ongoing partnership with Jordan in achieving significant milestones through effective Qatari institutions in the humanitarian response field.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mahafzah praised Qatar Charity’s generous contribution to the project, which aligns with the Ministry’s strategic plans to expand school construction, eliminate rented buildings, and phase out the two-shift system, ultimately ensuring a better educational environment for students.
