Qatar Charity (QC), in cooperation with Palestine’s Ministry of Social Development, has started providing house rents for dozens of families in the Gaza Strip, to help them prepare for and cope during the impending harsh winter.
The project, which has already benefited nearly 100 families, aims to provide adequate housing for a whole year for the underprivileged, the deprived and those with low income in Gaza. QC, through this project, seeks to contribute to enhancing their standards of living and keep them warm in winter.
Expressing their great happiness with the project, the beneficiaries said it provided them and their families with safe housing. Linda Barbach, a housewife, said the project brought her children together and saved her from being frequently asked by the landlord for the rent.
Abu Jarad, who is sponsored by QC, said the charity brought cheer to his family through this beautiful apartment that allows his children to sleep comfortably.
A beneficiary, Khamis Abu Jarad, thanked the benefactors in Qatar and QC for providing a safe house to protect his family from the cold of winter.
To select those eligible to benefit from the project, a socio-economic case study was conducted, and the beneficiaries, sponsored by QC within the social welfare programme, were selected after they were found to be in need of assistance to pay their house rents.
The project seeks to support the partners to reduce the negative effects of overpopulation in makeshift and inappropriate neighborhoods and villages, in addition to uplifting necessitous families in Gaza. It is worth mentioning that QC implements many other projects – such as providing cash and in-kind assistance and building social housing -- aiming to provide a dignified life for the underprivileged families in Palestine.
