Community Connection

Rahlatuna: Our Journey to a Brighter Future

Since opening in 1995, McDonald’s Qatar has built a lasting bond with the community by prioritizing their needs and delivering great food alongside memorable experiences. This commitment has grown over the years and is now embodied in Rahlatuna (Our Journey), our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform, which unifies and strengthens our efforts to make a positive impact on the community.

Rahlatuna brings together McDonald’s Qatar’s CSR initiatives from the past three decades, reflecting our dedication to enriching lives and contributing to the well-being of Qatar. Guided by the Human Development, Social Development, and Environmental Development pillars of Qatar National Vision 2030, the platform is designed to empower, celebrate, and give back to the community—enhancing the quality of life for Qatar residents, promoting environmental responsibility, and fostering a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Through Rahlatuna, we actively engage with youth, helping them develop their skills, broaden their perspectives, and celebrate their achievements. Partnering with the Education Above All Foundation, we support programs like “Educate a Child” and “Al Fakhoora,” raising awareness, fundraising, and volunteering to promote education for students in Qatar. We are proud to have raised more than 700,000 QAR in support of these programs to provide quality education, underscoring our commitment to making a meaningful impact. These efforts also earned us the "Responsible Leadership CSR Award" for the fourth time from Qatar University’s CSR National Program in 2023.

Additionally, McDonald’s Qatar supports youth sports through sponsorships such as the Qatar Basketball Federation and community activities like FIBA 3x3 tournaments and other events, including badminton and billiard festivals. We also organize annual blood donation drives in partnership with Hamad Medical Corporation to give back to the community and hold annual breast cancer awareness campaigns for both our customers and employees, promoting education and well-being. Furthermore, we celebrate cultural occasions with the community, reflecting the diversity of our workforce and the society we serve.

By combining a passion for community building with our purpose of feeding and fostering communities, McDonald’s Qatar continues to support brighter futures while serving delicious food. Through Rahlatuna (Our Journey) platform, we remain dedicated to strengthening the foundation of the society we call home.
