KUWAIT CITY, June 23: Zain, the leading telecommunications company in Kuwait, successfully concluded its annual campaign for the Holy Month of Ramadan with a great number of humanitarian, social, religious, sports, and recreational contributions.
Zain’s extensive program of various social, charitable, and humanitarian initiatives planned for the Holy Month came in line with the company’s Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility strategy that closely focused on giving back to the community. The company carefully selected the activities and programs that most presented an added value to all segments of the society. In this report, Zain showcases the initiatives and programs it held during Ramadan of 2018: Ramadan Machla Zain kicked-off its Ramadan campaign before the beginning of the Holy Month, where the company’s own team of volunteers packed Ramadan Machla boxes — containing essential food supplies — at the company’s main headquarters and delivered them to underprivileged families who were in need of support during the month of fasting. The distribution covered multiple areas of Al Jahra governorate throughout four days.
Zain’s distribution plan assured the delivery of essential food supplies to those in need before the arrival of the Holy Month in order to ensure disadvantaged families have enough quantities of the most basic supplies. The plan also included delivering a large number of boxes to Zain’s partners of non-profit entities, including the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), the Kuwait Food Bank, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, and Zakat House. Iftar Halls Every year, Zain launces the Iftar Halls initiative, which is a main pillar of the company’s Ramadan campaign. Through this initiative, Zain provided fasting individuals with daily Iftar meals under the supervision of its volunteers team. The banquets were spread in three main halls in Jleeb, Khaitan, and Hawalli as part of a strategy to cover the most populated areas of Kuwait in order to assure the maximum amount of individuals’ Iftar needs were covered. This year, Zain offered nearly 50,000 daily Iftar meals throughout the Holy Month. Zain Quran App Zain launched an all-new update to its Quran App, which the company gifts to its customers during Ramadan of every year. The app offered the best Quran reading experience on iOS and Android smart devices with a userfriendly interface.
The app offered many great features, including reading all pages of the Holy Quran, downloading and listening to the Holy Quran in the voices of over 20 famous reciters, read Tafseer (interpretations) to understand the meaning of verses, searching the whole text of the Holy Quran, as well as synchronizing usage between multiple devices.
The app also included a dark mode feature for easy reading in the dark, prayer times and Athan notifications, Qibla direction, and much more. Customers can download the app for free by searching ‘Zain Quran’ in the App Store and Google Play Store. Social visits Every Ramadan, Zain is keen to reach out to the many segments of the community, including orphaned children, the elderly, and people with special needs, by visiting the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor’s Care Centers to share the joyful blessings of the Holy Month with them. Zain believes in the importance of embracing the beautiful
