Founded in 2005 by Dr. Rajeev Thomas and Dr. Ciby Mathew, HOPE Qatar was born out of a personal mission to provide quality education and support for their own child with Down syndrome. Since then, it has grown into a pioneering institution offering meaningful, impactful, and affordable services to children and young adults with intellectual and physical challenges in Qatar.
Over the past two decades, HOPE Qatar has become a beacon of hope for hundreds of families, providing a nurturing, school-like environment tailored to each student’s individual needs. To date, more than 400 students have benefited from its specialized programs. Many have successfully transitioned back into mainstream schools, while others have excelled in their 10th and 12th-grade examinations through Open Schooling, and multiple curricula. Some of our students also completed SAT exams.
