Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has launched its annual 'Warm Winter' campaign to provide winterisation aid for 206,000 beneficiaries in several countries, with a total budget of QR 10 million.
In a press conference yesterday, QRCS Secretary-General, Ali Hassan Al Hammadi, said the campaign seeks donations from Qatari benefactors not only to make the target families warm during the winter, but also to revive their hopes, preserve their dignity, and alleviate their deprivation.
"While we are safe in our homes, we should never forget those homeless and destitute widows, orphans, elderly, and patients who lost their homes and livelihoods. They are in dire need of help as the cold winter approaches, and we also need to put an end to their pain, so that we may deserve blessings and reward from God," said Al Hammadi addressing the Qatari people.
To contribute, Al Khulaifi said, anyone can donate online (www.qrcs.org.qa), transfer donation via QRCS's account No. 11111-26666-202 at QIIB call the hotlines (16002 – 66666364 – 66644822), visit QRCS's headquarters in Old Slata, or visit Al-Khor Branch (44027883) or Women's Branch (44027875).
Last year, QRCS's 'Warm Winter' campaign delivered QR 7 million worth of winterisation aid and projects for 200,000 beneficiaries, including warm clothing, electric heaters, tarpaulins, blankets, heating oil, and jackets for schoolchildren.
