Victoria: The Qatar Fund for Development, in cooperation with the Government of Seychelles, has inaugurated a housing project in Glacis, Seychelles, aimed at improving living conditions for low-income families by providing safe and sustainable housing.

This significant milestone highlights QFFD's ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and promoting sustainable development through integrated housing solutions.

In a statement issued yesterday, the Fund said that the Glacis Housing Project aims to significantly improve the living conditions of low-income families by providing them with dignified, safe, and sustainable housing.

With a grant of $991,000 from QFFD, the project began in September 2023 and was successfully completed in January 2025.

The project consists of 12 modern two-bedroom housing units and features a children's playground and a volleyball court, fostering a dynamic and engaging community environment that enriches the residents' quality of life. Additionally, its prime location near an elementary school and a nursery makes it an ideal choice for families, offering convenience and accessibility.

This crucial initiative was brought to life through a close collaboration with the Government of Seychelles, facilitated through a joint technical committee comprising experts from both sides.

This partnership underscores the strong and enduring relationship between Qatar Fund for Development and the Government of Seychelles, focused on advancing socio-economic development and fostering social stability within the region.

During the opening, Abdulla Ahmed Al Fehani, Deputy Director General of Risk and Compliance, stated,“Our collaboration on this project exemplifies the strategic partnership between our two nations, one that is rooted in the State of Qatar's long-term commitment to support Seychelles in achieving its development goals. We know that housing is an essential pillar of any nation's development, and this initiative will provide much-needed homes for families in need, enabling them to access safe, secure, and dignified living conditions.” - QNA
