Qatar and Kyrgyzstan sign agreements to strengthen trade and investment ties

Qatar Charity has entered into a 'Charity Partner' agreement with Jotun Paints Qatar to bolster their corporate social responsibility efforts and back humanitarian initiatives both in Qatar and beyond. The agreement positions Jotun Paints Qatar within the bronze category of the program, symbolizing their dedication to enhancing collaboration and reinforcing the private sector's role in humanitarian and community action.

In the scope of cooperation, Jotun Paints Qatar pledges financial backing for various projects. These range from supporting the Back-to-School Campaign for Assalam School in Qatar, funding a vital water purification plant in Nepal, assisting Yemeni refugees in Djibouti, providing food baskets for those in need in Chad, to supplying bread for low-income families in Syria.

Moreover, the agreement grants Jotun Paints Qatar the right to use the (CP) trademark in line with the program's guidelines, symbolizing their community contributions and support for humanitarian endeavors.

Amer Mohammad al-Besiri, the director of Donor Relations at Qatar Charity, expressed his delight at welcoming Jotun Paints Qatar into the 'Charity Partner' Program. He anticipates this partnership to extend beyond the program's seasonal campaigns and humanitarian initiatives, welcoming the company's ideas for practical initiatives with tangible effects. Al-Besiri calls upon other companies and institutions in Qatar to join the program and contribute their resources and expertise to humanitarian and development projects.

Shovan Das, the general manager of Jotun Paints Qatar, shared the company's viewpoint. As a Norwegian firm with a four-decade-long footprint in Qatar, they see community support as part of their responsibility. They are thrilled to deepen their ties with Qatar Charity, aiming to lend a hand to initiatives that significantly impact people's lives in Qatar and abroad.

They highly value Qatar Charity's work and are eager to forge a lasting and meaningful partnership. The Charity Partner Programme, launched by Qatar Charity in 2021, aims to tighten community partnership approaches and motivate entities to aid humanitarian and development activities and community service. This program allows private-sector entities to contribute financially, provide in-kind support, or offer services within a structured framework that fosters enduring partnerships.

It also bestows the (CP) trademark at various levels, reflecting each partner's commitment to corporate social responsibility.
