This model will become an inspiration for all members of the Qatari Society in terms of work methods and the realization of the principle of social solidarity with the children of Orphans Care Center". “The development of the needs of orphans as a social group in the State of Qatar forces us to develop means to involve the society in achieving the goals of DREAMA to empower orphans and integrate them into society.
