Whenever the family is healthy, balanced, and complementary in roles, it will be the first shield of development and prosperity in Qatar.

This also comes through concerted all efforts to support and care for it and protect its security, stability, and cohesion by investing in well-studied events and programs that would Contribute to achieving the greatest degree of stability and family cohesion in society, enabling it to face challenges, especially those that target its value system and social contract.

This is to promote the value of family cohesion, in addition to educational activities for students in coordination and cooperation with the Ministry of Education, such as lectures, workshops, and agricultural activity to plant bramble seedlings. The Friday sermon is devoted to the importance of the family and its role in instilling values in the hearts of children.
