As part of its ongoing humanitarian and development efforts, Qatar Charity (QC), through its Burkina Faso branch, implemented a series of projects and initiatives benefiting nearly 2,000 vulnerable people across several regions of the country.

The initiatives included the implementation of 28 development projects alongside participation in key national activities, highlighting QC’s role in supporting sustainable development and strengthening cooperation with government institutions and development partners.

The inauguration ceremonies were attended by senior government representatives, mayors, officials from relevant ministries, community leaders and other local stakeholders, reflecting the significance of the projects and the confidence placed in Qatar Charity’s work by local communities and authorities.

Among the projects inaugurated were four mosques in different areas. Each mosque comprises a 70-square-metre prayer hall, four sanitation units and ablution facilities, providing suitable spaces for worship and serving the needs of local communities.

QC also inaugurated two Quran Memorisation Centres in separate locations. Each centre covers an area of 306 square metres and includes classrooms, a boarding facility, a dining hall, a kitchen and other integrated service facilities, helping to expand educational opportunities for younger generations.

In the water sector, the organisation inaugurated two 30-metre-deep shallow wells in different locations, improving access to clean water and reducing the burden on local residents.

As part of its economic empowerment efforts, QC handed over 20 shops to low-income families, enabling beneficiaries to establish sustainable sources of income and improve their living conditions.

QC also participated in a forum organised by the Ministry of Health to develop the National Eye Health Strategic Plan (2026–2030). Its participation helped strengthen coordination among stakeholders and supported efforts to expand access to sight-restoring surgeries for people affected by eye diseases and visual impairments.

The organisation’s Burkina Faso branch also took part in a Ministry of Agriculture meeting to coordinate humanitarian food security interventions, helping ensure a unified and effective response to the needs of vulnerable households.

Beneficiaries expressed their appreciation for the tangible improvements the projects had brought to their lives, noting that they had helped meet basic needs, expand educational opportunities and promote Islamic values.
