Non-functioning well pumps due to the lack of diesel encouraged Qatar Charity, in cooperation with Sobol Charity, to provide clean water for people in Taiz. 

This project provides 104 barrels of diesel per month to ensure the operation of the pumps of 8 major wells in the province, which will provide water for more than 300,000 people living in difficult conditions because of the imposed suffocating siege.

Al Ka’bi said that QC implemented this project in Taiz aiming at reducing diseases, displacement of people, and protecting people from the dangers of indiscriminate shelling during their journey to search for water in places far from their homes. He indicated that QC has implemented many other projects in Yemen on water and sanitation. Al-Ka’bi thanked the philanthropist of Qatar for donating to help in the reoperation of 8 wells in Taiz. 

At a cost of QR60,000, QC previously cooperated with Al Dawa Islamic Organization to renovate, rehabilitate, and furnish six schools in Marib. 

These six schools are Al Mutawakil, Al Durra, Al Faruq, Jafra, Sahari and Humaidah in Majzr, El Wadi, and El Medina directorates. 

QC has recently implemented “Emergency Relief” project, where it distributed 2,500 food baskets to contribute to relieving the effects of famine in the targeted area, whose population suffers from poverty and rising food prices. The charity helped foster a spirit of social solidarity and securing food needs for beneficiaries.
