DOHA: Qatar Charity (QC) has urged people in the country to support an ongoing mobile bakery project for displaced Syrian people.

QC’s mobile bakery in Syria has benefit 2400 displaced families since March in the western countryside of Aleppo by distributing bread through specialised vehicles.

A few days ago QC operated another mobile bakery for displaced people in interior areas and aims to continue the project to help the needy in their daily lives. Four tonnes of flour is needed at the bakery daily to make 38400 loaves for distribution to displaced families.

Mohammed Al Ka’bi Director Relief Management QC said “Through this bakery we intend to alleviate the suffering of the Syrians displaced and affected by the ongoing conflict. We are trying to distribute loaves for free to the largest number of families to save them the trouble of moving to other places and endanger their lives. Our campaigns will continue to help our brothers and sisters in and outside Syria.”

Through the project QC was able to reduce the burden on other bakeries. The mobile bakery project was initiated as part of the existing initiative ‘Competitors’ launched and adopted by QC to involve Qatari youth in charitable work. It aims to make use of their fame and marketing abilities in highlighting QC projects for the affected Syrians. As a result more donations are expected. The bakery and kitchen are operated by the Syrians because QC wants to create job opportunities for Syrian refugees in Turkey.The Peninsula
