Doha: Qatar Charity (QC) has inaugurated a multi-service center in the Willsi Bougou Area of the Koulikoro Region in Mali. The center comprises a school, a clinic, a mosque, and a solar-powered well, serving 1,500 beneficiaries.
According to Qatar News Agency, the center spans 487 square meters and is driving positive change by improving the quality of life, promoting sustainable development, and providing education and employment opportunities. Additionally, it focuses on enhancing health and empowering women economically.
