Doha, Qatar: The General Directorate of Endowments at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has received a significant real estate endowment from a group of benevolent women, reflecting the growing awareness of the importance of endowments as a tool for sustainable community development.

The endowment includes a residential complex of eight villas in Al Khor, a two-storey villa in Al Wakra, and two residential houses in North Khalifa City. According to official records, this marks the first endowment initiative by the donors, making their contribution a pioneering example of charitable giving in the country.

Director-General of the General Directorate of Endowments Eng Hassan bin Abdullah Al-Marzouqi, praised the initiative, describing it as “a model of inclusiveness and diversity in charitable giving.” 

He noted that the donors stipulated that the endowment revenues be directed to four key areas: serving mosques, supporting healthcare, advancing education and culture, and assisting underprivileged families.

“Such endowments reflect the multiple dimensions of our mission — making endowment a culture among individuals, managed with the highest standards of governance and sustainability, and directed to areas that touch human lives. This initiative reinforces the role of endowments as a strategic tool for local development,” Al-Marzouqi said.
