Qatar Charity (QC) announced the launch of a campaign for persons in debt and humanitarian cases under the ‘Al-Aqraboon’ initiative and launched the ‘Al-Aqraboon’ app.

This comes in conjunction with Ramadan, the month of kindness, giving, solidarity, and compassion, and within the framework of the continuing implementation of projects under QC’s "Ramadan of Hope" campaign.

The announcement of the Al-Aqraboon initiative and app was made at a press conference attended by Mr. Faisal Rashid AlFehaida, CEO’s assistant for the Program and Community Development Sector at QC, and Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Director of Marketing, Digital Growth, and Customer Service.

The Al-Aqraboon initiative, with the support of benevolent people in Qatar, aims to provide QAR 100 million aid to those in debt and humanitarian cases in Qatar to relieve them of their troubles.

The Al-Aqraboon app, which is the first of its kind in Qatar, and the new updates of QC's app will contribute to easily submitting aid applications for urgent humanitarian cases, and meeting donation and urgent assistance requests.

Speaking at the press conference, Mr. Faisal Rashid AlFehaida, CEO’s assistant for the Program and Community Development Sector at QC, said, “the Al-Aqraboon initiative and app stem from the Hadith “I think you should spend it on your nearest relatives”, in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has urged to do good for the benefit of relatives. He also said that the initiative and app came to contribute to the achievement of Qatar National Vision 2030, in the cultural, societal, economic, health, and environmental fields. He noted that both, the initiative and app, affirm Qatar Charity's attention towards the community service, as well as its keenness to use digital tools to carry out its work transparently and quickly.

AlFehaida urged individuals and companies in Qatar to support the Al-Aqraboon initiative to provide aid for those in debt and urgent humanitarian cases in Qatar to lessen their burden, bring social stability to their families, and share the joy of Eid with them.

AlFehaida stated that the app will make it easier for those in debt, humanitarian cases, widows, divorced women, patients, and families with limited income to submit their application for assistance online.

The app allows applicants to know required documents that have to be attached to their applications and follow up with them electronically.

Mr. Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, Director of Marketing and Customer Service, talked about the new updates of QC’s app and that of the Al-Aqraboon initiative and reminder to the app users of humanitarian cases.

He urged benefactors in Qatar, especially in the blessed month of Ramadan, to donate for the benefit of those in debt, and make contributions periodically to help the humanitarian cases.

The Al-Aqraboon app can be downloaded on both Play Store and Apple Store.

Moreover, you can donate to QC’s ‘Ramadan of Hope’ campaign through its website and app.
