Leadership Remarks

In his speech, His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah Al Thani stated:

“Thani Bin Abdullah Humanitarian Services Foundation firmly believes that goodness is a collective effort that can only flourish through the solidarity of sincere individuals, genuine and effective partnerships, and hands that carry the concern for humanity everywhere. From this standpoint, we affirm today that we are intermediaries of goodness on your behalf — your arm that delivers kindness and transforms your sincere intentions into real impact that touches people’s lives and makes a true difference.”

He added that, in line with the guidance of Qatar’s wise leadership and inspired by the statement of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar — may God protect him — who said:

“Humanitarian work is our strategic political choice at the regional and international levels. It is our humanitarian duty before being a political one, and we do not boast of it to anyone.”

He affirmed that the Foundation adopts this noble direction as a guiding principle, believing that giving is not a temporary stance, but rather a state approach, a leadership choice, and a deeply rooted value in Qatar’s vision and humanitarian message.

He further emphasized that the Foundation’s initiatives are aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030 and consistent with the Third National Development Strategy (2024–2030), embodying the concept of responsible humanitarian work, sustainable development, and effective community partnership, with the human being at the center of attention and the ultimate goal of all efforts.
