(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A delegation from Sheikh Thani Bin Abdulla Foundation for Humanitarian Service (RAF) has visited
Hargeisa in Somalia to review the progress of a couple of ongoing charitable projects there.
The Al Sehaba Centre project, funded by Qatari philanthropist Sheikha Um Khalifa, comprises a mosque that could host 1,200 believers, a Qur'an memorisation and religious sciences teaching centre that can house 600 students, a training hall that can accommodate 100 female students and a library that can seat 100 researchers.
The Al Sehaba Centre, which is located in the heart of the city, is spread over 7,000sqm. The project is estimated to cost QR2mn. The centre also includes five commercial shops on the ground floor, a house for the Imam and the administrative offices of the building.
The second project is the Al Sehaba Bridge, which will
connect the two parts of the city. The bridge that will span a ravine is 51m long and 12m wide.
The project was originally scheduled to be opened this year, but due to some technical and engineering difficulties, work was delayed.
The RAF team inspected the progress of the work and assessed the required finances to complete the project. The bridge will benefit around 1.2mn people living in the two parts of the city of Hargeisa.
