Doha: As part of Vodafone Qatar’s Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy, the company announced that it was the Platinum Sponsor of the 9th edition of the Qatar Red Crescent (QRC) Disaster Management Training Camp, which was held from February 21 to March 2, 2023.

The camp aimed to build awareness about both the natural and unnatural disasters that occur worldwide, and how to provide the necessary aid that is required during these times. Training coaches from various organisations around the world were on hand to share their knowledge and expertise with the participants.

Khames Al Naimi, Chief Human Resources Officer at Vodafone Qatar, commented, “We take pride in our social investment initiatives that have benefited the wider community. These initiatives follow our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, and it was an honour to sponsor Qatar Red Crescent’s event, which mobilised the power of youth in volunteerism, and contributed to the human development goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030.”

Faisal M Al Emadi, CEO of QRCS, stated, “I would like to thank Vodafone Qatar for sponsoring the 9th Disaster Management Camp, uniquely organized by QRCS as the world’s only Arabic-speaking disaster management training event. The camp was amazing and achieved its planned goals, thanks to support from the government, as well as the private-sector sponsors like Vodafone Qatar, which have already provided funding and in-kind donations for QRCS in many projects.”
