Doha
With the generous support of donors in Qatar, Qatar Charity's (QC) annual Eid Al Adha initiative in Sudan and Chad, reached the most vulnerable communities through the distribution of Udhiyah. The campaign was part of Qatar Charity's broader seasonal efforts for 2025 (1446 AH) to bring hope and joy to those most in need around the world.
In Sudan, the initiative focused on regions affected by conflict and displacement. Working hand in hand with local authorities and humanitarian partners, Qatar Charity distributed meat from 160 Udhiyah to more than 1,600 beneficiaries primarily internally displaced persons, refugees, and impoverished families.
Field teams from Qatar Charity visited the distribution points, taking part in the process and witnessing firsthand the impact of the campaign. Joy was evident on the faces of recipients who welcomed the aid with gratitude and warm prayers for the people of Qatar. Local officials praised the charity's transparent and organized approach, which ensures that help reaches those who need it most.
Meanwhile in Chad, Qatar Charity implemented the project across several regions including the capital, N'Djamena. The campaign benefited over 17,640 individuals through the distribution of 105,840 kilograms of meat, sourced from 1,776 Udhiyah.
Local partners and officials in Chad commended the initiative, noting its deep impact on underserved communities and its role in bringing a sense of dignity and joy during Eid.
For many of the beneficiaries, especially those in refugee camps or impoverished neighbourhoods, this year's Eid was unlike any other. The gift of meat, which many families had not tasted for months, turned their Eid into a moment of celebration.
One refugee in Chad expressed his gratitude, saying: 'I never expected we'd have meat this Eid. This is a blessing from God, and we thank the people of Qatar for remembering us.'
Local leaders described the campaign as a powerful message of solidarity from Qatar, reflecting the values of compassion, generosity, and shared humanity. Through this initiative, Qatar Charity once again affirmed its commitment to supporting vulnerable communities around the world not just with aid, but with hope.

Qatar Charity launches its pioneering Quran Literacy Project in Bangladesh
Tribune News Network Doha Qatar Charity (QC) has launched its pioneering Quran Literacy Project in Bangladesh, aimed at empowering children with reading difficulties by equipping them with the essential skills to recite, memorise, and comprehend the Holy Quran. The project is part of QC's wider Al-Furqan Quranic Literacy Programme, which not only focuses on Quranic education but also promotes the moral, psychological, and social development of its beneficiaries. The initiative is delivered through simplified, engaging, and inclusive educational content, reinforcing QC's commitment to supporting marginalised communities through both spiritual and educational development. The project was inaugurated at two of QC's flagship social welfare centres—Markaz Muhammad Bin Ajaj Al-Kubaisi Centre and the Sakhaa Centre—with over 600 sponsored children in attendance. The launch ceremony was vibrant and participatory, featuring Holy Quran recitations, theatrical performances, and cultural competitions. These activities reflected the programme's inclusive and celebratory approach to learning, while fostering a sense of community and purpose among participants. Speaking at the event, Dr Mohammad Amin Hafez Omar, country director of QC's Bangladesh Branch, said, 'This initiative is more than a literacy campaign—it is a transformative journey. Teaching the Holy Quran is not just about words and rules; it is about building balanced individuals equipped with values, self-respect, and purpose. Through this programme, we enable our beneficiaries to connect with the divine message and open the door to a renewed sense of identity, dignity, and direction in life.' Monzurul Haque, a Holy Quran teacher involved in the project, elaborated on the teaching methodology: 'We begin with foundational Arabic, helping students recognise letters and sounds, then gradually introduce Quranic verses along with their meanings. Our goal is not merely fluency, but deep understanding and spiritual reflection.' The students expressed enthusiasm and gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the initiative. Zakaria Dewan shared: 'I feel proud to be part of this program. Learning the Holy Quran properly has always been a dream for me. Now, I feel like I am doing something that gives me strength and brings me closer to my faith.' Khadiza Begum added: 'This project makes me happy. I feel like I am learning something important for my life. It gives me hope that I can understand the Holy Quran like my teachers.' Ataul Islam reflected: 'Learning the Holy Quran in its original language is a dream I never thought possible. It makes me feel connected to my faith and my identity.' It is worth noting that Qatar Charity currently supports 5,082 students in Bangladesh through comprehensive financial assistance, aiming to ensure a brighter and more secure future for them.
