CHARSADDA: Qatar Charity, a non-government organisation, distributed sewing and embroidery kits worth millions of rupees to over three dozen women at the Technical College in Charsadda, aiming to equip them with skills for financial stability and empowerment.
The event, attended by notable figures including Principal Afsha Ambreen, was part of the charity’s broader initiative to support women’s skill development. Sajjad Khan, coordinator for Qatar Charity, emphasised on the importance of empowering women for societal progress.

The deputy commissioner announced plans to activate the Women’s Chamber of Commerce to support this initiative, ensuring that women’s efforts contribute to the local economy.The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to Qatar Charity for the assistance, hoping that this support would help them achieve financial independence and uplift their families.
