SDC marks 20 years of development initiatives
Under the theme “20 years of Pioneering Community Development Initiatives”, the Social Development Centre (SDC) is launching its new visual identity and 2016-2020 strategy at a ceremony today at the Qatar National Convention Centre. This comes as part of the SDC’s continuous pursuit to develop the community services it delivers. The SDC said in a press statement that it had spared no effort since 1996 “to build a stable, self-reliant family concept that contributes to the development of society by empowering low-income and limited-capacity families with the skills necessary to compete in the labour market and improve their quality of life”.
