Qatar Charity (QC) has been honoured with the prestigious Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Housing Award for the 2024–2025 cycle, during the 23rd GCC Housing Ministers Meeting held in Kuwait.
The award was received by Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Charity, Yousuf bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari, from Kuwait's Minister of State for Municipal and Housing Affairs, Abdul Latif Abdullah Al-Mashari. The ceremony was also attended by Qatar's Minister of Social Development and Family H.E. Buthaina bint Ali Al Jabr Al Nuaimi.
Qatar Charity has implemented several initiatives to support low-income families, widows, and divorcees within Qatar by addressing their housing needs. These efforts include covering rental costs and implementing the 'Renovation' project, which focuses on repairing old homes for low-income families and providing them with suitable furniture.
Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Charity, Yousuf bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari, said, 'We are pleased with this honour, which reflects Qatar Charity's dedication to social housing as part of its contribution to realising Qatar National Vision 2030.
Through initiatives that aim to foster community stability, enhance living standards, and provide healthy housing environments for low-income families and groups, we are committed to making a meaningful impact.' He noted that this recognition will motivate Qatar Charity to pay more attention to such community initiatives.
It is worth mention that the 6th edition of the GCC Housing Award 2024-2025 was held under the theme 'Digital/Smart Applications and Technologies in Housing Projects and Programs.' Cash prizes were awarded to the top three winners, and several organizations were honoured during the official ceremony, including Qatar Charity, which was recognized in the category of private sector and charitable organizations.
