Ms. Fatima Al-Nuaimi, Director of the Family Empowerment Department at MSDF, stated, "Our Garangao celebrations were designed to showcase and support the exceptional products of Home-Grown Projects. By partnering with relevant entities, we provided entrepreneurs valuable opportunities to participate in national events, integrate into Qatar’s economy, and achieve economic empowerment."

This effort strengthens their economic sustainability, boosts local production, and aligns with the MSDF’s vision of empowering women, promoting product diversity, and expanding market access.
