MOGADISHU —<\/strong> In a scene reflecting the depth of fraternal bonds and noble humanitarian values, Qatari developmental institutions continue to leave their educational marks in Somalia, emphasizing that investing in youth is the fundamental pillar for building a stable and sustainable future for coming generations.<\/p>\n

The Somali National News Agency (SONNA) reported that Qatar Charity organized a collective Iftar banquet in Mogadishu for 250 of its sponsored university students, as part of its annual campaign aimed at strengthening direct communication with the youth.<\/p>\n

According to SONNA, Abdulfatah Adam Moalim, Director of Qatar Charity’s office in Somalia, stated that the meeting’s objective was to monitor the students’ welfare and renew the commitment to supporting them as future leaders contributing to their country’s renaissance.<\/p>\n

Somali officials, as circulated by the agency, praised the leading role of the State of Qatar, considering the provision of free university education for this group a true support for Somalia’s national plans in social development and human capacity building.<\/p>\n

The same source quoted the presidency of Mogadishu University expressing pride in this productive cooperation, noting that such generosity opens horizons of hope for students and embodies the great care given to their academic excellence and market integration.<\/p>\n

In a related context, the national agency highlighted statements by Somali scholars affirming that the initiative transcends financial support to achieve emotional participation, reflecting the spirit of love and giving that characterizes Qatari projects across Somali regions.<\/p>\n

\u200bSponsored students, according to the news report, expressed their deep gratitude to the donors in Qatar, confirming that this support represents the true backbone for continuing their education and pledging to serve their society and country with efficiency.<\/p>\n

The agency indicated that this event comes at a time when Qatar Charity is achieving a significant impact on the education sector, having implemented 23 educational and cultural projects last year, benefiting thousands with a total cost exceeding three million Qatari Riyals.<\/p>\n

The report explained that more than 700 students are currently pursuing their university education under the “Student Sponsorship” umbrella, confirming the sustainability of the educational impact and the expansion of the beneficiary circle of grants and initiatives.<\/p>\n
