In 2025, Qatar Charity (QC), with the generous support of benefactors in Qatar, delivered impactful humanitarian and development assistance to 674,484 beneficiaries across Bangladesh.

Through 2,171 implemented projects, the organisation addressed critical needs in water and sanitation, education, housing, health, food security, orphan care, and humanitarian response—while maintaining a strong focus on supporting the Rohingya refugees.

Under the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programme, Qatar Charity implemented 1,879 projects, benefiting 94,000 people across Bangladesh. These interventions focused on improving access to safe drinking water through digging deep tube wells and filtering contaminated water.

Through 188 mosque projects, benefiting 37,600 individuals, Qatar Charity strengthened religious, cultural, and social fabric of communities. These initiatives involved construction of mosques, providing safe spaces for prayer, religious learning, and community gatherings.

Qatar Charity implemented 25 education projects, including schools and Holy Qur’an memorising centres, reaching 5,100 beneficiaries. The projects aim to expand access to quality education for children and youth in disadvantaged communities.

Under 34 housing projects, Qatar Charity provided safe and durable home to 432 individuals living in unsafe or inadequate housing conditions. These interventions enhanced family security, dignity, and long-term stability.

Qatar Charity built five orphan care centres, benefiting 900 orphaned and vulnerable children. These centres provided comprehensive care, including accommodation and education, for child development.

Through 21 health projects, Qatar Charity delivered specialised eye care services to 2,150 beneficiaries. These initiatives focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of cataracts, helping to prevent avoidable blindness and restore vision.

As part of two seasonal projects, Qatar Charity supported 42,630 beneficiaries through targeted food assistance. During Ramadan, food baskets were distributed to poor and vulnerable families, while the Qurbani project provided sacrificial meat to underprivileged households, orphans, and widows.

Through two emergency response (relief) projects, Qatar Charity supported 22,750 people affected by floods. The response focused on the distribution of emergency food baskets and essential relief items, helping flood-affected families meet their immediate needs.
