In Doha, Qatar, the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has initiated a fundraising campaign titled #MakeStudentsHappy, specifically dubbed "Back to School 2026." This program aims to assist students in their educational pursuits while providing essential learning materials and opportunities, ultimately enabling them to construct a brighter future. The 2026 action plan encompasses a comprehensive suite of initiatives to bolster education services in numerous countries, all estimated to cost over QR 12 million.
QRCS's educational endeavors will extend beyond Qatar to eight additional nations: Palestine (Gaza), Jordan, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Niger. The program is projected to benefit more than 24,000 students across these regions. Abdullah Sultan Al-Qatan, QRCS's Acting Secretary-General, emphasized that education is a fundamental human right and a dream for every child.
However, he lamented that ongoing humanitarian crises, disasters, and challenging living conditions continue to deny millions of children worldwide access to stable educational opportunities. He added that the "Back to School" campaign seeks to grant students the opportunity to pursue their education and enhance their potential to build a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Al-Qatan elaborated that the annual campaign transforms donations from the generous people of Qatar into a sustainable educational and humanitarian impact, by providing necessary educational resources and supporting the continuity of students' academic journey. The campaign encourages social solidarity and opens wider horizons for students to learn, develop, and contribute to their communities.
QRCS offers a range of donation options to accommodate diverse donor preferences, including Starter Share (stationery and school supplies for one student at QR 100), Bag Share (QR 250), Group Share (QR 1,000), Class Share (QR 2,500), Scholarship Share (QR 5,100), and School Share (QR 70,000). Al-Qatan urged benevolent donors to contribute zakat and charity to this noble cause, which could significantly impact children's futures and help shape their lives.
