A social support initiative “ZHAAB” has launched its ‘Thokhor’ campaign — a monthly donation plan that commenced its activities during the holy month of Ramadan under the title: “To be the best you can be, give all year round with our monthly donation plan”. 

‘ZHAAB’ initiative was launched in February 2017 by Qatar Charity Under the patronage of H E Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, to provide support to local communities. 

‘Thokhor’, which means generosity, on the part of the donor, is launched as part of “ZHAAB” initiative, to help raise funds to help people in Qatar. The monthly donation plan is set up either by sending an SMS or via account transfer through local banks to facilitate the donation process, and make it more convenient for the donor, said a release. 

‘Thokhor’ campaign includes a donation drive which is rolled out throughout multiple Majlises across Qatar. 

The rollout consists of separate visits for men and women, with at least two visits occurring each day. The campaign intends to spread awareness of how people can give back to their community through “ZHAAB”, while facilitating their participation through its Zokhor programme.
