The Ras Laffan Community Outreach Program (COP) has announced sponsorship worth QR1.5m for Amira — a development programme that benefits girls in Al Khor.
Organised by the local Quodorat Training and Development Center, the programme will develop teamwork skills, technological abilities and leadership characteristics by giving participants various projects to manage, and supporting them through training courses.
Between 2014 and 2023, the Amira programme will coach 30 Qatari schoolgirls from grade one through high school. A fixed amount of training will be provided on an annual basis, with some courses involving the participants’ parents, thus ensuring the family takes an active role in the education of their children.
“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Ras Laffan Community Outreach Program for its continuous support of the Quodorat Training and Development Center’s programmes and activities, in particular its financial support for the Amira programme,” said Bana Al Harmi, director of the centre.
“This programme is considered one of the centre’s major projects because of the importance of its focus on girls, who will be the building blocks for their families and communities.”
“We are very pleased to cooperate with Quodorat Training and Development Center,” said Moza Al Mohannadi, Community Liaison Lead of the Ras Laffan Community Outreach Program. “One of the most important objectives of this programme is to build a bridge of trust and cooperation between COP and the community, whereby we can help fulfil the community’s most important educational needs.”
The COP aims to build communication bridges based on trust and cooperation between the industrial companies located in the northern region of Qatar and the local community.
The COP is comprised of a consortium of industrial companies located in the northern region, including Qatar Petroleum, Al Khaleej Gas, RasGas, Qatargas, Dolphin Energy Limited, Pearl GTL and Oryx GTL, which collectively support the areas of Smaismah, Al Daayen, Um Qarn, Al Khor, Al Dhakira, Al Kaaban, Al Ghariyah, Al Ghuwairiya, Madinat Ash Shamal, Al Ruwais, Abu Az Zuluf and Fuwayrit.
