QC organises fund-raising event in partnership with PWF

Qatar Charity (QC), in partnership with Pakistan Welfare Forum (PWF), organised a fund-raising event for the Pakistani community in Qatar.

QC and PWF joined hands for the welfare of Pakistani expatriates in 2018. This strategic partnership complements the efforts of the two organisations which seek to contribute significantly to meeting the social, education, and medical needs of low-income community members.

Khalid Fakhroo of Qatar Charity was the guest of honour on the occasion while Community Welfare Attaché at the Pakistan Embassy Waheedullah Khan Wazir was the chief guest.

A large number of professionals, businessmen, and philanthropists from the Pakistani community participated in the event.

Welcoming the gathering, Mohammad Israr Malazai, member of PWF Founding Executive Committee (FEC), said that PWF in cooperation with QC is engaged in welfare activities and implements a range of projects for the benefit of low-income families and workers throughout the year. “I would earnestly request my compatriots to come forward and strengthen our hands in carrying out welfare activities for needy Pakistanis,” noted Malazai.

Khalid Sajjad Bhatti, president of PWF, highlighted the activities of his forum and explained the role of different sub-committees engaged in welfare activities. He thanked the participants, volunteers, and community members in making the event a big success. “I would also like to thank PWF Founding Executive Committee members and Steering Committee members for their active support and guidance in organising this event,” remarked Bhatti.

Ahmad Hussain appreciated QC for their tremendous support and cooperation to become partner of PWF in carrying out various initiatives to provide opportunities to those who value social responsibility and want to pay back to society to uplift the deprived segments of the communities through education. PWF’s flagship education programme, he noted, is for children who are out of school due to social, economic, cultural or any other reasons. He said these efforts have led to establishing five Assalam schools in partnership with Education Above All Foundation, Qatar Charity, Ministry of Awqaf, and the Ministry of Education.

Prominent Pakistani businessman Fawad Rana appreciated the efforts of PWF officials for organising an event aimed at helping community members in distress.
