QC unveils 2026 Education Campaign to support students in need at home and abroad

Qatar Charity (QC) has introduced the Education Campaign 2026, centered on the theme "Science as Stewardship", to support students in need both domestically and internationally. This campaign underscores QC's dedication to ensuring the right to education, which serves as a vital tool for personal development and the strengthening of societies. The initiative aims to assist up to 123,000 students facing hardship in their pursuit of education.

QC's projects abroad encompass providing essential items such as school backpacks, uniforms, and educational supplies, supporting school feeding programs, sponsoring students in need, and improving learning environments through school construction and rehabilitation. Executive Director of Communications and Community Impact at QC, Abdulaziz Jassim Hejji, urged benefactors to contribute generously to this effort, emphasizing that donations extend beyond a simple class or school backpack; they contribute to building capable individuals who can support their communities and nations.

Hejji highlighted that education is a potent means of providing for oneself and a lasting charitable act, as its benefits persist over time, reaching students, their families, and their communities. He affirmed that education remains a cornerstone of QC's humanitarian and development programs, given its role in fulfilling children's fundamental rights, strengthening communities, and alleviating poverty and crises.

Ultimately, the campaign seeks to promote education as a universal right and support education in regions affected by humanitarian crises, disasters, and conflicts, thereby ensuring secure educational opportunities for children and preventing school dropouts.

The campaign will be implemented nationwide in several conflict-affected nations, including Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Lebanon, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Albania, and Nepal, with a focus on supporting children from low-income families and orphans. These students will receive financial aid for tuition and fees, as well as necessary school supplies, such as backpacks, uniforms, sportswear, tablets, and laptops.
