With support from philanthropists in Qatar, Qatar Charity (QC) has inaugurated a multi-service centre in a neighbourhood in the Chadian capital, N'Djamena. This centre, the first of its kind in the region in terms of comprehensiveness and diversity of services, aims to promote local development and provide essential services to residents. More than 10,000 people are expected to benefit from it.
The opening ceremony was attended by local dignitaries, officials, representatives from the Ministries of Health and Education, and the region's deputy governor. This project is part of QC's ongoing efforts to support vulnerable communities in Chad through sustainable development initiatives that have a long-term impact on people's lives.
Built on an area of 664 square metres, the centre features a six-classroom school set to open in the next academic year, helping to reduce school dropout rates and promote access to basic education. It also houses a modern health clinic offering primary care services such as maternity care, medical examinations, nursing, vaccinations, a pharmacy, laboratory tests, and inpatient rooms, aiming to improve preventive and therapeutic healthcare in an area lacking such vital facilities.
The centre further includes a mosque accommodating 120 worshippers, complete with restrooms and ablution areas, providing a comfortable space for worship while strengthening community bonds. A deep solar-powered well ensures access to clean drinking water, and landscaped green spaces enhance the environment.
Local officials praised QC's role in advancing local development and delivering essential services.
Al-Rakhis Abkar Barma, deputy mayor of the First District of N'Djamena, expressed his gratitude for the initiative, noting that the centre's diverse facilities would transform education, healthcare and water access in the area. He extended special thanks to the project's donors in Qatar for their generosity and commitment to improving lives.
Al-Rakhis Abkar Barma, deputy mayor of the First District of the capital, N'Djamena, said, 'I extend my sincere thanks to Qatar Charity for its development efforts in establishing this centre, which is the first of its kind in this region. Thousands of residents will benefit from its extensive services in several areas, which are expected to make a difference in their lives and the lives of their families. I also extend my thanks to the project's donors, the charitable people of Qatar, for their generous contributions.'
