There are currently 13,291 people in Sudan who are sponsored under Qatar Charity’s programmes.

Orphaned children in the Sheikha Aisha bint Hamad Al Attiyah Model Orphans City in Sudan’s River Nile State have received school supplies, including backpacks and uniforms under Qatar Charity.

The project aims to support orphans in Sudan and provide a proper environment for them to flourish, as well as lessen the financial strain on their families by covering the cost of their education.

The distribution was part of the Qatar Charity’s orphan care initiatives, which were funded by Qatari philanthropists, according to a news release.

According to Youssef Abdullah, director of Social Affairs and representative of the executive director of the Ad Damer district, where the Sheikha Aisha Bint Hamad Al Attiyah Model Orphans City is located, the generosity of the people of Qatar created a joyful environment for the orphans.

He expressed his appreciation for Qatar Charity’s ongoing assistance with humanitarian relief and development in the area and noted that the orphans who received the uniforms, backpacks, and school supplies did so at a time when they were most in need.

Mother of two orphans, Rehab Othman, reported that her girls were pleased to receive the backpacks, clothes, and other school materials.

Umm Salama, a mother of three orphans, claimed that many families and mums of orphans were unable to pay for new clothes, school supplies, and backpacks for their kids.

As part of its social welfare initiatives for people sponsored in Sudan, Qatar Charity gives special attention to orphans by conducting a variety of programmes and projects.

There are currently 13,291 people in Sudan who are sponsored under Qatar Charity’s programmes.
