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.

The story of a well that restored hope to forgotten Somalian village, thanks to QC
Tribune News Network Doha In 2024, Qatar Charity (QC) implemented 78 water and development projects, benefiting more than 140,000 people in remote and marginalised areas in Somalia. This comes even as the world celebrated the annual International Day to Combat Desertification and Drought on June 17th. This year's theme, 'Restoring Land... Unlock Opportunities,' highlights how restoring the foundation of nature can provide jobs, enhance food and water security, support climate action, and contribute to strengthening economic resilience. Qatar Charity has placed drought and desertification in Africa at the top of its humanitarian priorities, and Somalia has been one of the most prominent arenas of fieldwork, where millions suffer from the effects of prolonged desertification and water insecurity. To combat the drought that threatens lives and undermines development opportunities, Qatar Charity has implemented dozens of water and development projects in Somalia. On the occasion of the International Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, 2025, Qatar Charity has reiterated its commitment to being an effective part of global efforts to combat desertification and drought, especially in affected countries like Somalia, through cooperation with international and local partners. The organisation believes that every drop of water makes a difference, and every tree planted is a promise of a better future. In central Somalia, specifically in the Galgaduud region, there is a village called Yoron, where there is no running water, electricity, or paved roads. Nothing is more difficult here than obtaining water. The nearest well is 50 kilometres long hours spent on this arduous and exhausting journey lead to children missing school, while the women suffer from exhaustion and anxiety, fearing the contaminated water, which can only bring them serious infectious diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea. The bleak scene changed when Qatar Charity, with the support of the Qatari peoples, decided to implement a water project in the area. Drilling machines arrived and their cries echoed throughout the village, heralding the birth of new hope. A project to dig an artesian well, over 180 meters deep, was launched in the village in search of clean water. Life has returned to the village, and everyone is awaiting the completion of this project. The long-awaited well has become a symbol of steadfastness and determination to survive despite all the obstacles and difficulties.

Ashghal completes Al Kharaitiyat, Izghawa roads & infra projects
Tribune News Network Doha The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the completion of works of the third package of the Roads and Infrastructure Development Project in Al Kharaitiyat and Izghawa, which the Authority is implementing within four development packages with the aim to enhance road network and infrastructure services to serve citizens' lands in the area. Engineer Abdulla Al-Naemi, head of North Areas Section of the Roads Projects Department at Ashghal, said that the third package of the project aims to achieve extensive improvements which, upon completion, will serve about 1,383 plots in the area through the development of internal streets and construction of shared pedestrian and cycling paths, in addition to developing infrastructure facilities such as rainwater and groundwater drainage networks and other networks to provide integrated infrastructure services and improve the quality of life of the area residents. Regarding the work that was implemented within this package, Engineer Jassim Kano, project engineer, explained that this package of the Al Kharaitiyat and Izghawa project provides about 42 km of roads, with the installation of 1,783 street lighting poles and traffic safety elements, and the provision of 7,300 parking spaces designated for cars. Within the scope of the project, infrastructure networks were also developed, which include a surface and groundwater drainage network with a total length of 33 km, a treated water network with a length of 13 km, in addition to a wastewater drainage network with a length of 32 km, in addition to 6.5 km of power line works and 19 km of telecommunications lines. The project's planting works cover an area of 9,250 square metres, and the shared pedestrian and cycling paths will extend over 84 kilometres. Work is currently being carried out to complete home sewer connections and some tree planting works, in addition to coordinating with the service authorities in the country for the delivery of the project and some periodic maintenance works. Local materials and manufacturers were relied upon in most of the project work, with the local component reaching 70 percent of the total materials used, as local Qatari sources were relied upon, which include, for example, lighting poles, drainage pipes, precast manholes, electrical cables, directional signs, and interlocking. To minimise inconveniences that may result from development works to residents to the greatest extent possible, the geographical scope of the project was divided into four areas to be worked on in successive phases when commencing the project works.
