The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has introduced its annual "Back to School 2026" fundraising campaign under the hashtag #MakeStudentsHappy. The initiative aims to assist students in pursuing education and providing necessary educational supplies to enhance their prospects for a brighter future. The QRCS's 2026 strategy encompasses a diverse range of proposed projects, with a total budget exceeding QR12 million, to bolster education services in numerous nations.
These include aiding impoverished students, distributing school bags and stationery, maintaining and furnishing schools, and granting scholarships for specific university disciplines.
The campaign extends beyond Qatar, impacting education projects in eight additional countries: Palestine (Gaza), Jordan, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Niger. The QRCS anticipates reaching more than 24,000 students through its various donation tiers, detailed in its brochure and accessible online (https://qrcs.qa/BSC2).
Potential donors can contribute via QRCS's mobile app, a dedicated donor service number (66666364), home donation collection at (33998898), or donation collection points at malls and shopping centers.
QRCS Secretary-General Abdullah Sultan al-Qatan emphasized, "Education is every child's aspiration and a basic human right." However, he noted, "humanitarian crises, disasters, and challenging living circumstances continue to prevent millions of children worldwide from accessing consistent educational opportunities." The "Back to School" campaign, according to al-Qatan, seeks to offer students the chance to pursue their education and fortify their capacity to build a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
By channeling generous Qatari contributions into sustainable educational and humanitarian outcomes, the campaign aims to provide educational necessities and bolster the continuity of students' academic pursuits.
The QRCS offers a variety of donation options to accommodate diverse donor preferences. These include a Starter Share (QR100 for stationery and school supplies for one student), Bag Share (QR250), Group Share (QR1,000), Class Share (QR2,500), Scholarship Share (QR5,100), and School Share (QR70,000). Al-Qatan urged donors to contribute their zakat and charity to this worthy cause, which could significantly impact children's futures and facilitate their development.
Al-Qatan stated, "Every contribution, regardless of its size, can provide a student with the opportunity to pursue their education and advance one step closer to achieving their aspirations."
