Women in Gaza attending classes conducted by Qatar Charity.
As part of its plan of activities for the current year, Qatar Charity (QC) implemented a project to educate mothers and their families in the Gaza Strip.
This awareness project for 600 women aims to improve the concepts of education among the families of orphans and how to manage money and mental maps in dealing with children. It includes cultural, social, educational, behavioural and psychological activities of mother and child especially in the absence of husband.
This project aims at raising awareness among mothers about the methods of special education for children, in addition to enhancing the capacity of orphaned mothers to overcome the problems of children in different stages, according to Mohammed Abu Halub, Director of Qatar Charity Office in the Gaza Strip. He highlighted the importance of strengthening the relationship between mothers of orphans. Qatar Charity, in cooperation with the Palestinian Center for Democracy and Conflict Resolution, has recently implemented a psychosocial support project for orphaned children in the Gaza Strip to help alleviate the psychological burden of 250 orphan children and their families who cannot provide the necessary health services to sustain their normal lives. As part of its commitment to comprehensive care for orphans, the Qatar Charity Office implemented a medical examination project for its beneficiaries in all five governorates of the Gaza Strip, in order to ensure the health and safety of orphans and help their families.
Qatar Charity has conducted comprehensive check-ups for 1,250 orphans within a month-long plan. The medical programme included comprehensive laboratory testing of orphaned children in several medical centres in Gaza. The health centres provided the results of laboratory tests and identified health problems faced by children in order to follow the steps necessary to prevent them.
