Doha, Qatar: As part of its efforts to support livelihoods and enhance self-dependence for refugee families in Bangladesh, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has distributed agricultural kits to 400 vulnerable and female-headed households.

Implemented in cooperation with Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), this intervention is part of a comprehensive programme to empower beneficiary families to work in home gardening. 

They had previously received specialised training in this field, to make them better able to effectively utilise the agricultural resources provided.

The aid kits contained essential agricultural tools and supplies, such as gardening tools, planting containers, storage bags, and diverse vegetable seeds. The aim is to support home-based agricultural production, improve food security, and help the beneficiaries generate an income.

Mohamed Bader Al-Sada, Assistant Secretary-General for Relief and International Development at QRCS, commented, “To meet their individual and family needs for food, clothing, shelter, education, and recreation, people must work and earn money. This, in turn, helps significantly stimulate the local economy, foster self-dependence, and contribute to national development efforts”.
