DOHA: Kerala Women’s Initiative Qatar (KWIQ), involved in community service activities, organised “Health is Wealth” Day, primarily focusing on female support staff and domestic helpers in Qatar, at the GEMS American Academy premises.

This event drew a good crowd of mixed nationalities mainly from India, Nepal and The Philippines.

We feel so fresh and happy”, said one of female support staff working at a school.
