As part of its social responsibilities and supporting various needy segments of society, the Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation provided financial and in-kind assistance to a number of needy individuals and families in February.

Through this monthly activity, the Foundation enhances its community presence in supporting these groups within the country and supporting their aspirations to live a decent and stable life by relying on the Foundation’s own capabilities to finance its charitable activities, ensuring continuity and reaching those deserving of support on an ongoing basis.

The total amount of this aid during February amounted to over QR2,372,643.
