Doha Festival City<\/a>\u2019s partnership with Qatar Charity earlier this month, which has called for shoppers\u2019 cooperation in providing urgent relief aid to Somalia in light of the country\u2019s drought which has led to famine and the displacement of many.<\/p>\nAs part of the Stop the Famine of Somalia campaign, the shopping centre and organisation are collecting donations in the form of non-perishable food and non-food items.<\/p>\n
Qatar charity will donate food baskets, non-food items and portable water tanks to those in need in Somalia.<\/p>\n
The mall houses a collection area where shoppers can donate essential items, as well as fundraising boxes for financial donations.<\/p>\n
Doha Festival City also partnered with the charity earlier this year to hold a flash mob performance to raise awareness for Syrian refugees.<\/p>\n
The mall and its visitors donated over 500 boxes of essential Ramadan food items.<\/p>\n
Doha Festival City promises to continually partner with government and local organisations to support campaigns that raise cultural, environmental, health and humanitarian awareness.<\/p>\n
