QC responds to Syrian family’s appeal

Qatar Charity’s (QC) ‘Warm Hearts’ campaign for the displaced inside Syria, continues to benefit many as winter intensifies. An example is the case of Umm Hussein and her orphaned children, who were provided an alternative shelter, in less than 24 hours after their dilapidated tent collapsed.

The QC campaign is run under the slogan “Don’t wait for winter to come.” Umm Hussein said: “I cannot describe my joy and that of my children, and I hope that everyone who lost their tent in this cold will be helped because I went through this very difficult situation. Thank you to the good people in Qatar and thank you to Qatar Charity for what they have done.”

The campaign has reached more than 1.2mn displaced people, refugees, and needy families in areas of crises, disasters, and poor communities in 15 countries around the world, as well as launching an initiative for rapid intervention in emergencies, an initiative for the elderly and assistance to workers.

QC urges philanthropists to continue supporting the campaign to reach the largest possible number of needy groups across the world and mitigate the severity of the dangers of winter on them and their families. Donation options are in cash, or by requesting a mobile collection representative or via the website www.qcharity. org as well as through QC collectors and donation funds in commercial complexes.
