Ouagadougou, October 11 (QNA) – With the support of generous donors, Qatar Charity (QC) has implemented around 145 economic empowerment projects in Burkina Faso, providing sewing machines and supplies to women and girls from vulnerable communities and internally displaced families.
Benefiting 1,015 people, the initiative forms part of QC’s efforts to strengthen livelihoods and promote economic self-reliance among those most in need.
In a statement, QC said that the initiative is designed to help beneficiaries launch income-generating activities or expand their existing businesses, improving their living conditions and advancing their economic and social inclusion. The support is especially significant amid the difficult circumstances facing many families and internally displaced people.
The project was implemented in coordination with Burkina Faso’s Ministry of Family and Solidarity, which oversaw the distribution of sewing machines. The ministry commended its partnership with Qatar Charity, describing QC as a trusted partner whose work supports government priorities in social protection and economic empowerment. It also highlighted QC’s contribution to expanding access to vocational opportunities and improving livelihoods for vulnerable groups, particularly women, orphans and internally displaced people.
Beneficiaries said Qatar Charity’s support had transformed their lives by providing them with a sustainable source of income, greater financial stability and a stronger ability to meet their daily needs. (QNA)
