The Al Rayyan women’s branch of the Qatar Charity Center for Community Development held charity market with the participation of the Qatar Business Women Entrepreneurs ‘Raq’ and 500 women to support of the ‘Sham Deserves’ campaign, which is being implemented by Qatar Charity (QC) in partnership with Qatar Media Corporation (QMC) to help Syrians.
The Qatar Business Women Entrepreneurs participated with 15 projects that included cosmetic and food items, incense, perfumes and clothing, in addition to the charity dish.
The charity market witnessed a great turnout, receiving in-kind and cash donations worth QR50,000.
Turkiya al Ghaithani, a preacher, gave an awareness lecture, which was attended by more than 50 women.
During the lecture, Gheithani spoke about the situation in the camps where refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) live, and about their daily suffering that she has witnessed during her recent visit to Turkey along with Qatar Charity’s delegation.
During the visit, she came to know about the problematic conditions of the refugees and their basic needs.
Gheithani also called on the participants to make their contributions to the ‘Sham Deserves’ campaign to extend support to refugees and the displaced to ease their hardship, as these vulnerable people along with their children and women have fled their homes and are living in open spaces or abandoned buildings without their basic needs.
The Al Khor women’s branch of the Qatar Charity Centre for Community Development will organise another charity market from March 28 to 30, 2020.
The donation to the ‘Sham Deserves’ campaign will continue until the end of this month.
