Doha, Qatar: The Ability Friendly Programme, part of Qatar Foundation’s Pre-University Education, organised a celebration for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, with wide participation from centres, schools, and institutions working in the field of disability.

The event featured an exhibition through which visitors learned about a range of resources and services offered by local specialised entities, aimed at supporting persons with disabilities and empowering their families. It also included a series of physical and hands-on activities.

The family-centred celebration, offering an interactive space for children where they could play and learn safely while their families explored the available services.

This created a welcoming atmosphere that combined entertainment, awareness, and family engagement.

Head of Qatar Foundation’s Ability Friendly Programme, Kathleen Bates said, “The event was aimed at connecting families with the resources available in the community and helping them discover centres, programmes, and services they may not have known about.
