DOHA: Ooredoo companies have celebrated the spirit of Ramadan across their regional footprint this month, with a series of special initiatives.
The activities have been designed to encourage people to appreciate life, spend time with loved ones, and help people in need during the Holy Month, and have been supported by a high proportion of employees who volunteered with their time.
Dr Nasser Marafih, CEO, Ooredoo Group, said: “Ramadan is a time to appreciate and give back to the community, and we want to show our customers that we care and connect during this special time.”
For Qatar, Ooredoo is engaging with the community via a host of activities such as hospital visits, Iftar with the elderly, and donations to several charities. To bring the spirit of the Holy Month to life, Ooredoo Qatar’s popular Alrabaa, a group of seven mascots who embody the traditions of the country, are making appearances at events across the country as part of the Ramadan #SharingOurBest campaign.
