About Qatar Charity.

Qatar Charity is a non-governmental organization, founded in 1992 for the development of the Qatari society and other needy communities. QC endeavors to serve all needy people and communities regardless of their color, sex, religion, race or nationality. For this reason, QC works in different countries around the world and its activities cover many countries in Asia, Europe and Africa.

Bringing its vision “to be a model of pioneering Islamic institution that combines originality, creativity and profes-sionalism in the field of development and humanitarian assistance,” QC entered Indonesia through participation in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Aceh’s post-tsunami in 2005. Therefore, QC first office in Indonesia was established in Aceh. The office was then recognized as Qatar Charity Indonesia (QCI) Aceh Branch.

As time passed, the presence of QC was increasingly accepted in Indonesia. This was quite reasonable because of its mission “to strengthen the capacities of the neediest groups to fulfill human dignity and social justice in collabora-tion with local partners.” QC was officially recognized by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia through the signing of the first MOU on May 18, 2006 in Ministry of Religious Affairs. Since then, QC opened representative office in Jakarta as center of its activities in Indonesia. The MoU was renewed on July 6, 2009.

Deep Water Well Project in Winong Village Location: Winong village, Sub district of Mancak, West Serang.
