The Shafallah Center for Persons with Disabilities was established in 1999 to protect the rights of the disabled in Qatar.
The Shafallah Center was established to provide ideal services for people who suffer from mental disabilities and autism, whose ages do not exceed 21 years, in the field of special education and qualification in addition to making the society aware of their issues and rights to obtain a more independent life, and to maximize their integration into the society. The center has been operating since 2013 under the authority of the Qatar Foundation for Social Work, which in turn is affiliated with the Ministry of Social Development and Family.
