Adding to the list of praiseworthy initiatives, Qatar Charity(QC) has launched Eid Al Adha campaign 2020, to benefit those affected at an estimated cost of nearly 20 million Qatari riyals.

In addition to Qatar, the campaign is estimated to benefit 1.6 million beneficiaries in 30 countries, across Asia, Africa, and Europe.

The campaign is aimed to provide 42,286 Udhiyah to those affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the poor, the needy, the displaced, and refugees with the support from the people in Qatar.

Muhammad Rashid Al-Kaabi, Assistant CEO for the Communication and Resource Development Sector at Qatar Charity said, “the campaign will contribute to restoring hope to thousands of those in need across three continents, especially in countries facing displacement and going through a very challenging time due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.”

As the Udhiyah campaign aims at reaching out to more than 1.6 people worldwide, it requires an overwhelming response from the people in Qatar, both citizens and residents, in the same manner, they always extend support to Qatar Charity’s campaigns, Al-Kaabi added.

The campaign is aimed to distribute 4,500 Udhiyah to more than 42,615 people within the State of Qatar valued at over QR 2 million.

The Udhiyah will be distributed to families of orphans, low-income families, workers, and those affected by the coronavirus(COVID-19).

Besides, Eid gifts will be provided to 450 orphans, while 450 persons will benefit Eid clothing.

The distribution of nearly 37,786 Udhiyah will be provided to over 1.5 million people from Albania, Ethiopia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Senegal, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Gambia, Yemen, Ghana, Palestine, Kosovo, Lebanon, Nepal, Ivory Coast, Indonesia, Nigeria, Sudan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Mali, Chad, Jordan, Benin, Burkina Faso, Turkey, Togo, and Tunisia.
