Qatar Charity (formerly Qatar Charitable Society) is a humanitarian and development non-governmental organization in the Middle East. It was founded in 1992 in response to the thousands of children who were made orphans by the Afghanistan war and while orphans still remain a priority cause in the organization's work with more than 150,000 sponsored orphans, it has now expanded its fields of action to include six humanitarian fields (shelter, emergency medical response, food aid, WASH and financial aid) and seven development fields (health, education, WASH, food security, financial empowerment, housing and social care).[1]

Between 2012 and 2017, Qatar Charity has spent over US$1.3 Billion on humanitarian and development operations and projects which provided relief and assistance to more than 178 million people in over 50 countries.[2] These projects are carried out either directly by Qatar Charity through its 24 subsidiary offices around the world or through partnerships with international or local NGOs or IGOs.

Qatar Charity has been a strategic partner of UNCHR since 2012, with total contributions of USD 50,258,913 million for IDPs in Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, and Syria and refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, and Myanmar, reaching more than 1.6 million beneficiaries.

In some of the world's most conflict-affected countries such as Yemen and Syria, Qatar Charity ranked among the top contributors (including governments) to humanitarian activities according to the OCHA-monitored Financial Tracking Service.[3]

According to a report published in February 2021 by the Washington Institute, Qatar had agreed to stop providing support to the Muslim brotherhood, expelled non-citizen brothers from the country and would not shelter any person from GCC Countries to avoid undermining relations with the Gulf. The documents proving the same were published by Al Arabiya on July 10, 2017.[4]

In September 2023, the UAE removed 59 Qatari nationals and 12 entities, including "Qatar Charity" from the terrorist list, that was announced by the blockading countries during the Gulf crisis in June 2017.[5][6]

Management

[edit]

As of 2015, Qatar Charity is headed by its president, Hamad bin Nasser al-Thani,[7][8] and its CEO, Yousef bin Ahmed al-Kuwari.[9]

Major projects

[edit]

Among QC's major long-term projects are "Tayf," a charity program to collect in-kind donations,[10] and the annual "Iftar" project for the month of Ramadan, which aims to provide meals to thousands of fasting Muslims in targeted countries.[11] In July 2015, Vodafone Qatar and Qatar Charity created a partnership. Employees of Vodafone helped feed workers at camps in the Ras Laffan Industrial City with Iftar meals during Ramadan. Vodafone promised to donate $275 per hour that each employee volunteers. The donations will go to Qatar Charity's Family Sponsorship program. The program helps low-income families throughout the Gulf area.[12] Recently, Qatar Charity has also launched a website ("Travel and Aid") to attract participation in charitable work.[13]

Qatar Charity is at the forefront of relief work in the face of major natural disasters. This was the case in Nepal, where Qatar Charity distributed $100.000 in food, blankets, mattresses and other non-food items including hygiene kits.[14] In Sierra Leone, the charity supported the purchase of vital equipment at an Ebola Treatment Center (ETC) in Lunsar.[15] It also played a part in the 2008–2009 Gaza Strip aid delivering around $140,000 worth of medical supplies. In other international efforts, it had raised around QAR 2 million as relief for the 2010 Pakistan floods.[16]

In Niger, Qatar Charity supported local efforts to combat drought and improve the overall desperate conditions in the villages of Sowna and Aichign by funding the installation of modern solar-powered artesian wells.[17] In southern Mali, it opened shelters for displaced children. During 2014, Qatar Charity's long-standing commitment to the people of Somalia was renewed as the charity provided QAR 25.5 million ($7 million) in life-saving relief, recovery and rehabilitation programs and activities.[18] QC launched a project to construct the village of 'Doha Alkhair' in Djibouti at an estimated cost of QAR 4 million in September 2015. One-hundred houses, basic amenities and public utilities were among the planned infrastructure.[19]

QC sent relief convoys to refugees in South Sudan, and funded programs in support of Syrian refugees in Lebanon.[20] As of October 2015, the organization had carried out four housing projects in Syria, during which it repaired and built new villages.[21] The most notable housing project is Al Rayyan, an under-construction village designed to accommodate 7,000 people.[22] QC also deployed around 400 pre-fabricated housing units in Syria.[21]

The charity promotes engagement, employment and enterprise development for young people in the Arab world. One of the latest such efforts includes the renovation project of Al-Quds University at a cost of QAR 4.5 million.[23]

In west Africa, the foundation began in November 2021, a collaboration with Nigeria’s northern state of Jigawa and Mallam Inuwa Foundation to provide solar-powered water plants, boreholes, hand-pumps, and mosques across the 27 Local Governments councils in the state.[24][25]

On January 13, 2022, Qatar Charity signed a memorandum with the international blindness prevention organization, Orbis in support of the IAPB’s “2030 In Sight” initiative to promote global eye care and rehabilitation facilities are available to everyone who needs them, wherever they are in the world.[26][27][28]

In Bulenga, in the Upper West Region, Qatar Charity launched a centralized borehole water project. The project, which started in November 2023, supplies water with climate-resilient solar panels and pumps.[29]

In January 2024, Qatar made a significant contribution to Gaza's humanitarian aid by sending over 2,000 tonnes of essential equipment and goods in another shipment.[30]

It is worth noting that Qatar Charity has always been cleared from any accusations of support to terrorism by the United Nations [66]

On February 11, 2015, Sudan Tribune reported controversial statements by Yahia Sadam, an official of the Minni Minnawi Sudanese liberation movement who accused Qatar of endorsing the genocide perpetrated by Sudanese militiamen in Darfur by funneling money though the Sudanese branch of Qatar Charity, active in Darfur since 2010.[67][68][69] Sadam claimed that Qatar Charity, which had purportedly signed a cooperation agreement with the Sudanese troops, was "building housing complexes in remote and isolated areas to harbor and train extremist groups."[67][69] In May 2023, Qatar Charity (QC), sent 40 tons of relief aid through a Qatari airlift flight to Sudan.[70] Furthermore in June 2023, Qatar’s foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, contributed $50 million to program aiding conflict-stricken Sudan.[71] On 20 Aug 2023, Qatar Charity (QC) sent a new shipment of specialized medical supplies for kidney diseases and cancer from Turkey’s Istanbul Airport to Port Sudan Airport, reported by Relief Web.
