The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Qatar, the first of its kind in the Middle East, has partnered with Qetaifan Projects to hold a site tour for its members at the Qetaifan Island North to celebrate the International Women’s Day on Tuesday.
Around 25 NAWIC attendees visited the multiple-award-winning development located in the North of Lusail under the guidance of Engineer Mustafa from Qetaifan Projects.
The group was picked up from Katara Hospitality headquarters by a minibus, and was allowed to take pictures of the water park, the main attraction on the island along with its edutainment ride inspired by the oil discovery in Qatar.
During the 90-minute tour, NAWIC’s women of varied nationalities who are working in the building industry learned all the various aspects in the construction process of the man-made island which will have a hotel, retail, villas, and apartments, in addition to recreational facilities such as a beach club, linear park and canal, and a mosque at its entrance.
The impact of the visit on NAWIC’s members has been very positive as everyone left with a long-lasting feeling of awe and inspiration as well as with flowers and goodie
bags.
NAWIC’s President Billie Teshich shared her impressions with the crowd: “NAWIC’s members are truly delighted to be able to visit such a prestigious project already awarded as “Best Mixed-Use Development – Arabia” and “Best Sustainable Residential Development – Arabia”, as well as “World’s Best Mixed-Use Development among 120 nominated companies in the real estate development sector. This is our first event for 2022 and it has been a huge success”.
Billie also talked about the origins of feminism and thanked the organisers at Qetaifan Projects and NAWIC’s Board Member Carly-Jane Figgis for working hand-in-hand for the event on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
