Doha, Qatar: As part of the efforts of the Center for Empowerment and Care of the Elderly (Ehsan), one of the centers under the umbrella of the Qatar Foundation for Social Work, to expand its services and enhance the quality of life for the elderly, an elderly care club was recently opened in Al Wakra City, in cooperation with the Private Engineering Office. It serves elderly women in the southern region of the country.

The club is a valuable addition to the center's day clubs. Located in the Old Souq Al Wakra, it features a traditional architectural style that reflects Qatari authenticity and provides members with a traditional social environment through traditional rooms designed with a cultural and social character that fosters a sense of belonging.

The opening of the club came in response to the southern region's need for specialized and comprehensive services that address the quality of life for the elderly.

The Al Wakra Club provides an integrated social, health, and cultural environment that aims to enhance community communication and enable the seniors to engage in their daily activities in a safe and stimulating environment.

The club offers a diverse range of programs, including sports activities, health and awareness workshops, cultural events, and educational programs specifically designed to meet the interests and needs of senior ladies. It also contributes to creating a collaborative environment that enhances their sense of inclusion and productivity.
