  "summary": "Qatar Charity has expanded its initiative to provide the Holy Quran in Braille to visually impaired individuals in Kosovo and Albania. The charity has distributed 250 copies of the \"Baseera Mushaf\" to people with visual disabilities in the two countries, with 160 copies delivered to Kosovo and 90 to Albania. The initiative, launched in 2014, aims to make the Quran more accessible to blind people in underserved communities worldwide by offering the text in different languages. In Kosovo, Qatar Charity collaborated with the Islamic Community of Kosovo to identify potential recipients, ultimately reaching over 300 people with visual disabilities, though only 160 copies were distributed. A similar process was followed in Albania, where the Albanian Muslim Community helped identify 90 beneficiaries. Both events were attended by local Islamic authorities and representatives from the Qatar Embassy, highlighting the humanitarian and educational impact of the initiative. The remaining copies will be distributed through local mufti offices in coordination with relevant authorities.",
