Commitment to Qatar National Vision 2030

McDonald’s Qatar has taken its commitment to Qatar National Vision 2030‘s Human Development pillar to the next level by consolidating all their CSR efforts under one umbrella – Rahlatuna, which translates to Our Journeys.

The platform is a testament to their unwavering vision of giving back to the community and fostering a positive impact on society. Through Rahlatuna, the innovative brand strives to engage the community in a meaningful and constructive way, as evidenced by its long history of supporting education, notable charitable causes, championing athletes, fostering artists, cleaning beaches, and donating books.

Education is a key focus of McDonald’s Qatar’s CSR programme. Hence, the innovative brand will continue supporting EAA by enabling customers to make a donation from any of the 71 restaurants strategically located around Qatar at various touch points.

If anyone wants to be part of the fund-raising campaign, crew members will continue to ask customers if they would like to add QAR1 to their total bill.
