QRCS volunteers were present at all distribution points throughout Eid days

Doha: The Volunteering and Local Development Department at Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), has supported the Adahi Project, co-implemented by QRCS and Widam Food Company, during the Eid Al Adha successfully, and attained its goal of reaching out to as many beneficiaries as possible.

Executive Director of Volunteering and Local Development at QRCS, Muna Fadel Al Sulaitis said that the project provided food aid for the vulnerable families and groups, with the aims of achieving food security, establishing a glorious act of worship in Islam, making it easier for Muslims to offer the ritual sacrifice during the Eid Al Adha, engaging individual and institutional donors in the promotion of social solidarity, and ensuring the delivery of charity to those eligible. “We designed a well-organised scheme to distribute the food aid under the applicable preventive measures. Together with our partner, we could distribute a total of 500 heads of sheep to 750 vulnerable families registered with QRCS’s seasonal assistance program, in addition to 711 families, or 3,555 persons, as indirect beneficiaries,” said Al Sulaiti.
