About the Series
Real stories. Real impact.
Humanitarian Heroes is a short-form video series produced by QCDC in collaboration with Qatar Red Crescent. Each episode follows a hero from a different specialization in humanitarian work, from medical services, disaster response, logistics, WASH, first aid, and psychosocial support, showing what the work looks like, which skills it requires, and why it matters.
The series is designed for students, parents, and career practitioners. Whether you’re choosing a major, planning skills to build, or guiding others, you’ll find practical steps to join humanitarian work in Qatar and contribute to thriving, resilient communities.
Along the way, you’ll understand how core roles in humanitarian work collaborate, map your values and strengths to high-impact volunteer paths, and identify entry-level training opportunities offered by Qatar Red Crescent so you can turn inspiration into action.
