The campaign was held in cooperation with the Education Above All Foundation (EAA), Carrefour Qatar’s main strategic partner in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). During the campaign, customers donated QR608,000, which Carrefour Qatar matched at the end of the campaign, effectively reaching a total of QR1,216,000.

We are and will remain dedicated to our communities and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”
The results are an extension to the larger campaign by Majid Al Futtaim, Our Hearts with Gaza, in which the company has donated a total of over $2m. The donated money from customers and Carrefour Qatar will provide essential relief to Palestinian civilians in Gaza through EAA Foundation’s Al Fakhoora educational project in Gaza, Palestine.
