The Ministry of Social Development and Family (MSDF), in cooperation with the Family Consulting Center (Wifaq), is preparing to celebrate the Qatar Family Day, which falls on April 15, annually, as an emphasis on the importance of the family and its active and pivotal role in development.
This year’s celebration comes amid appreciated efforts by MSDF within the framework of its responsibilities and competence in this aspect, which reflects the state’s great interest in community development and the family, as the latter is the pillar and solid nucleus of society.
Director of the Social Welfare Department at MSDF Reem Al Ajmi said that the great interest in the family comes from the wise leadership's belief in the centrality of the family’s role in nation-building and development.
Al Ajmi explained that protecting the family and enhancing its cohesion is achieved by investing in well-studied activities and programmes that contribute to the greatest degree of social stability and family cohesion, enabling it to face challenges, especially those that target its value system and social contract.
The Ministry’s programmes and events to celebrate Qatar Family Day this year include various activities, such as introductory tours for primary schools (boys and girls) to promote the value of family cohesion, in addition to awareness activities for students in coordination and cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, which include lectures, workshops, and agricultural activity to plant lycium shawii seedlings.
