Eid Gift Campaign Brings Aid to Gaza and Syria with Over 60,000 Items

The Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, in partnership with Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), has successfully concluded its annual ‘Eid Gift’ campaign, initiated by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser. The initiative collected over 60,000 new clothing items and school bags for children and families in Gaza and Syria between March 5 and 20, 2025, with contributions gathered from 18 locations across Qatar.

The campaign saw strong community participation and private sector support. Major donors included Matalan at Place Vendôme, contributing 1,750 items, and Apparel Group, which donated 20,000 clothing items valued at QAR 1 million. Local businesses like Ilham Textiles and platforms like Snoonu also supported the cause. Aid shipments reached Syria via Jordan, while those for Gaza await border clearance.

Talal Al Hothal, Director of EAA’s Al Fakhoora Programme, said the campaign reflects Qatar’s deep-rooted commitment to humanitarian aid and dignity. QRCS and QFFD echoed the sentiment, praising community engagement and cross-sector collaboration.

The initiative was further promoted by Elan Media’s QAR 175,000 advertising contribution and a ‘Spend and Win’ campaign at Place Vendôme encouraging charitable giving.
With its wide-reaching impact, the campaign highlights Qatar’s ongoing dedication to uplifting vulnerable communities during the Eid season.
