About

In 1984, a group of Qatari philanthropists came together to form a community initiative under the name “The Committee of Qatar for Orphan Sponsorship” to aid children orphaned by conflicts and disasters in neighboring countries. Eight years later, the initiative expanded its scope of interventions and geographical outreach and established itself as an international humanitarian and development NGO under the name “Qatar Charity”.

Almost four decades later, Qatar Charity has grown to become one of the largest humanitarian and development organizations in the world, providing life-saving assistance to those hit by conflicts, persecution and natural disasters and creating durable solutions for poverty through sustainable development programs in social welfare, water and sanitation, education, nutrition and economic empowerment.

With field offices in 33 countries and implementing partners in 60 others, Qatar Charity is at the forefront of global response to emergencies, and on the foreground of development solutions that help vulnerable communities become more resilient and ultimately thrive and prosper. In the past years, Qatar Charity has contributed more than USD$2.6 billion reaching approximately 218 million beneficiaries across more than 60 countries.
