Princess Basma also commended the board of directors of the society for their efforts and underscored the crucial role of women in driving community development in impoverished regions.

The princess also hailed the Wadi Araba Development Company for its substantial contributions to regional development, which include attracting investment and improving the living conditions of local residents.

Princess  Basma also announced the campaign’s initiative to equip the society’s multi-purpose hall with furniture and audio equipment to facilitate community meetings and foster knowledge exchange among women. She also gifted clothes to 50 children from the society.

President of the Association Mona Ahywat outlined the objectives, activities, and challenges of the organisation. She also expressed her gratitude for the Charity and Goodwill Campaign’s comprehensive approach to supporting communities in the Araba Valley.

In the villages of Qatar and Al Reisheh, Princess Basma, along with volunteers from the youth and women’s committee, distributed food parcels to 120 needy families. She also gave gifts and Eid clothes to 85 students at Qatar Mixed Primary School.
