Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar has signed a sponsorship agreement with Toyota and Lexus distributor, Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros. Co. (AAB). Under the agreement, AAB has signed on as the exclusive sponsor of the dedicated reception area for visiting schools, which will be the first point of contact for school children when arriving at the museum.

Dadu is the first institution of its kind in Qatar to provide innovative child development settings and resources to support children, families and educators to thrive and contribute to a sustainable future. The museum will be Qatar’s first publicly funded museum, with all donors, families and corporations, directly contributing to the future of Qatar and its people.

Dr. Nasser said, “AAB is proud to be part of this national project as we remain steadfast in our commitment to nation building. We renew this commitment as we enter this partnership with Dadu. One of the Sustainable Development Goals addresses the provision of quality education with a focus on youth development, as our children are tomorrow’s leaders. Dadu plays a significant role in providing children and families with endless opportunities and access to all avenues of learning and creativity.”

Dadu’s core values include curiosity, inclusion and community, and the museum is rooted in local heritage and values that can be applied to both Qatari and expat families alike.
