Box Appeal delivers a welcome treat to local construction workers across Qatar

Local construction workers, pictured, receive gift boxes full of clothing, toiletries and other essential personal effects donated by members of the public as part of the month-long ‘Box Appeal’ campaign, which ended in June.

The campaign organised in partnership with Qatar Charity provided collection boxes at locations throughout Doha, which were then filled and returned for distribution to local workers throughout the city.

Launched on May 1 to coincide with International Workers Day, the Box Appeal invited the public to donate clothing and personal items at collection centres across the country. The initiative reflects Msheireb Properties’ ongoing investment in corporate social responsibility and recognises the tireless contribution of construction workers to the astonishing growth of Qatar’s infrastructure.

Msheireb Properties supports a wide range of social and humanitarian programmes in Qatar, in particular activities aimed at construction workers. In addition to the Box Appeal, Msheireb Properties organises free IT training, safety workshops, and free Iftar meals during the Holy Month of Ramada.
