Yousuf Al Kuwari, CEO of Qatar Charity, welcomed the first official visit of the British Ambassador, HE Jonathan Wilks, recognising the long history of charitable giving and established base of charities by the United Kingdom.

He stated that Qatar Charity has built a solid foundation for lasting partnerships with UK-based entities like the Start Network and its member organizations, as well as Refinitiv, the largest provider of risk management solutions with whom Qatar Charity jointly developed a comprehensive governance system fully adapted to the work of international NGOs.

On a more pressing matter, both parties have recognised the eroding rights of children’s access to education and protection. As a result, Wilks and Al Kuwari agreed on discussing potential partnerships to strengthen action on child protection.

Wilks stated that the upcoming World Cup in Qatar can act as a powerful platform to gain support and allocate resources for a variety of issues of common interest.

Al Kuwari agreed that the global event could provide unprecedented momentum to advance the use of sports as a tool to promote peace and development, one of Qatar Charity’s hallmark programs in post-conflict settings.

The British Ambassador stated that he was impressed with his first trip to Qatar Charity, informing him of their wide range of global activates and integration of technology, and looks forward to collaborating with them in the years to come.
