DOHA: Reach Out To Asia volunteers recently finished renovating a house in Al Kharaitiyat as part of ROTA’s ‘Reach into Qatar’ project.
The project, aimed to extend community development assistance to communities, involves national and non-national volunteers visiting areas outside Doha. The renovation took place from December 5 to 12.
“‘Reach into Qatar’ project upholds our principal value of educating, engaging and encouraging all sectors of the community to participate in the spirit of volunteerism and community service in and outside Qatar.
In recent years, the ROTA Volunteer Programme has extended the reach of its activities in Qatar to several communities outside Doha,” said Essa Al Mannai, Executive Director, ROTA.
“As a member of Qatar Foundation, ROTA believes in the importance of unlocking human potential as well as contributing to the achievement of the Human and Social Development Pillars of Qatar National Vision 2030. “The ‘Reach into Qatar’ project is designed to support the National Vision by equipping Qatari youth with skills and motivation to build a stable and secure society by fostering feelings of belonging and citizenship,” he said.
“I have been involved in previous ROTA house renovation projects and was able to see first-hand the effect the renovation of a house can have on the living conditions of a family,” said Hamad Al Jubara, a volunteer. The project is sponsored by Msheireb Properties, which has been involved with many ROTA initiatives in Qatar.
“Msheireb Properties is committed to contributing to the success of the project as volunteers helping ROTA complete house renovations. This is in line with our vision of society development,” said Engineer Abdulla Hassan Al Mehshadi, CEO, Msheireb Properties.
“With our constant support to the project, we hope to make a positive impact on many lives and families outside Doha.”
The project is also supported by Gulf Contracting Company, which handles the maintenance work on the ground, such as plumbing and electrical work, and donates materials such as tiles and paint.
