Qatar Charity, with the support of the people in Qatar, organised two entertainment activities for orphans in the Swat district of Pakistani province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir Muzaffarabad. Nearly 400 children participated in games, competitions and an awareness session held as part of the activities.
These activities were organised to bring joy to participating children, develop their creativity, improve their skills, enhance their self-confidence and enhance the effectiveness of their communication with others.
On this occasion, an awareness session on international hygiene standards was held to attract the children’s attention towards cleanliness and personal hygiene and advise them to wash hands with soap before eating and after using toilets and returning home from outside.
Besides, hygiene kits and relevant pamphlets were distributed to them. Each kit includes soap, a shampoo, a comb, a nail clipper, a towel, a toothpaste and a brush.
The activities also included competitions in general knowledge, drawing, flying disc, tug of war, 100-meter race, and long jump.
The children participated in these activities enthusiastically, and were rewarded at the end.
In Pakistan, Qatar Charity sponsors nearly 6,000 people, including 5,446 orphans, in addition to poor families, students, teachers, and people with special needs.
Through its “Rofaqa” initiative, Qatar has so far sponsored more than 156,000 orphans across the globe, making it the largest family of orphans in the world. By the end of 2019, Qatar Charity aims to raise this number to 200,000 sponsored
persons.
