The act of giving and helping those in need is an important part of the Holy Month of Ramadan. Especially now that we're still in the middle of a pandemic, it's more important than ever to help out in any way we can. From Iftar meals to food supplies and other needs, we've rounded up some of the many initiatives set up in Qatar to help out the less fortunate. Scroll down to find out how you can help someone this Ramadan 2021.

Education Above All

Children love to learn. If they are denied access to knowledge, we also deny them the opportunity to change their lives for the better. Dedicate your donation to support and develop poor countries' education.

Our very own Mr. Q, Khalifa Al Haroon, is working with Education Above All to help raise funds to educate kids. You can help through this link: donate.educationaboveall.org/khalifalharoon

Vodafone Qatar

For the second year in a row, Vodafone Qatar’s Ramadan digital engagement platform will encourage everyone in the country to be part of its charitable giving campaign during the holy month.

In the spirit of giving back and to inspire all communities to participate, Vodafone Qatar has partnered with Qatar Charity to fully support their Ramadan program “Iftar from home to home”. This is the first such program managed by Qatar Charity that sees Qatari producing families create home-cooked iftar meals that are then distributed by Qatar Charity to low-income families directly to their homes. Every 100 points collected by playing on the platform are equivalent to an iftar meal donation, so the more people play, the faster Vodafone gets to its donation goal of 6000 meals.
