Jakarta:With the support of generous donors, Qatar Charity has implemented approximately 145 economic empowerment projects in Burkina Faso. These projects have provided sewing machines and supplies to women and girls from vulnerable communities and internally displaced families.
According to Qatar News Agency, this initiative is part of Qatar Charity's efforts to enhance livelihoods and promote economic self-reliance among those in need. The projects are designed to help beneficiaries start income-generating activities or expand existing businesses, thereby improving their living conditions and advancing their economic and social inclusion.
The project was carried out in partnership with Burkina Faso's Ministry of Family and Solidarity, which managed the distribution of sewing machines. The ministry praised its collaboration with Qatar Charity, recognizing QC as a reliable partner that aligns with government priorities in social protection and economic empowerment. The ministry also emphasized QC's role in expanding access to vocational opportunities and improving livelihoods for vulnerable groups, particularly women, orphans, and internally displaced individuals.
Beneficiaries expressed that the support from Qatar Charity has significantly improved their lives by providing a sustainable source of income, increased financial stability, and a stronger ability to meet their daily needs.
