Ashghal launches Mashmoum distribution initiative for residents in infrastructure project areas

Doha, Qatar - The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has unveiled a new initiative to distribute the Mashmoum plant to residents living in areas undergoing infrastructure projects. This move is a gesture of appreciation for residents' cooperation and understanding during construction work, as well as an effort to introduce the plant to younger generations and encourage their continued growth, as the plant holds cultural significance in Qatar.

Ashghal highlighted the importance of the Mashmoum plant in Qatari culture, which is deeply ingrained in the memories of Qataris. The Authority expressed their wish to promote environmental preservation and agriculture among families, particularly children, and to introduce the younger generation to this valuable heritage.

The initiative is carried out through direct engagement with residents, with the participation of Ashghal's engineers in the distribution process. This aligns with Ashghal's objectives during the Qatar Sustainability Week, which took place between October 31 and November 7. Over the past five years, Ashghal has planted more than 51,400 trees and established approximately 6,793,000 square meters of green spaces within their projects.

Ameera Al-Mushiri, from Ashghal's Public Relations and Communication Department, emphasized that the initiative reflects the Authority's appreciation for residents' cooperation and understanding during construction works, and their commitment to social responsibility through stronger community ties and initiatives that impact residents' lives.

Eng. Fatema Salat, Head of Southern Areas Section - Roads Projects Department, stated that the initiative accompanies ongoing roads and infrastructure projects across Qatar to improve mobility, enhance safety, and meet residents' needs through the development of internal roads, sewage, and stormwater drainage networks, and other services.
