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 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.
