QRCS to provide needs of 61,865 vulnerable people during Ramadan

Distribution of Ramadan Iftar meals.

Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) initiated a series of charitable projects for the benefit of tens of thousands of vulnerable groups in Qatar, under its Ramadan Campaign 1442 A H titled “Race to All That Is Good”. The plan involves several Ramadan-bound projects, such as Ramadan Iftar, Zakat-ul-Fitr, and Eid Clothing. This food and seasonal aid targets 61,865 vulnerable beneficiaries such as laborers, patients, and poor families in Qatar. First, there will be a Ramadan Iftar project, which is limited to ready-made food meals, in light of the Covid-19 outbreak and strict preventive measures. Throughout the holy month of Ramadan, daily fresh meals will be distributed to poor families and workers across the country. At a total cost of QR1.2mn, this project will cover 48,000 beneficiaries. Likewise, there will be the Cordiality Iftar, a project to distribute fresh meals every day to patients and medical staff at hospitals. It targets 7,500 beneficiaries, at a total cost of QR262,000.
