Baladna and Qatar Charity distribute 10,000 litres of milk at Ramadan tents

BALADNA Food Industries, Qatar’s largest fresh dairy producer, in collaboration with Qatar Charity (QC), is distributing 10,000 litres of long-life milk (UHT) to workers at Al Thakira and Al Khor Ramadan tents.

The milk will also be distributed to families in need. The collaboration is part of the campaign ‘Qatari products supporting charity’.

“We take pride in our collaboration with QC. The work they have done over the years, has been extraordinary, and has helped millions of people. Baladna will continue to support the local communities in every way possible way, as having a comprehensive corporate social responsibility is part of our core values,” said Saba al Fadala, director of Public Relations and Communication of Baladna.

Ali al Ghareeb, director of the Local Development Department at QC, said, “Baladna Food Industries’ contribution supports blue-collared workers and lowincome families during the Holy Month of Ramadan at tents located in Al Khor and Al Thakira. QC is open to contributions from both government and private entities to improve services provided to the local communities in various sectors.”

Baladna has been an active contributor to the Qatari economy over the past few years. As a result of the blockade, Baladna accelerated the diversification of products to help enhance its role in meeting the country’s self-sufficiency goals.

QC has set up 45 tents across Qatar during Ramadan 2019, benefiting 350,000 blue-collared workers. Iftar meal packets have been delivered to labourer accommodations in industrial area and homesteads, benefiting 39,000 workers. Additionally, charity food packages have also been handed out to 10,000 low-income families. Overall, 3.4 million people from 30 different countries have benefited from QC’s initiatives this year.
