About two hundred and seventy people participated in this event, including sponsored persons with disabilities, their families, and students. The event was attended by the mayor of Niamey, representatives of the Ministry of Child Protection and Women's Advancement, and figures from government institutions and eligibility in Niger. This comes at a time when Qatar Charity is working to help orphans, families, and people with disabilities and aid them. Several sponsored persons, people with disabilities, and their parents thanked Qatar Charity, stressing the importance of this sponsorship in their daily lives, as it provided them with a decent life. At the end of the event, gifts were presented to the outstanding students in the study with visual, hearing, and motor disabilities.
