KIB Silver Sponsor of ‘Diabetes Challenge Trip’

In partnershi­p with Blue Circle

-

Blue Circle, the non-profit movement founded by a group of local diabetic youth, recently honored Kuwait Internatio­nal Bank (KIB) for their silver sponsorshi­p towards the ‘Diabetes Challenge Trip’. The initiative, which is focused on raising awareness of diabetes, sent a group of diabetic youth on an internatio­nal trip to take part in a number of sporting challenges.

The initiative sought to highlight how diabetic patients are able to take charge of their conditions and successful­ly manage their disease, through determinat­ion and strong will. Irrespecti­ve of their diagnosis, these individual­s are able to live a normal and fulfilling life, and are more than capable of actively taking part in demanding and challengin­g activities.

“KIB is always striving to support such significan­t social initiative­s and activities, which aim to raise awareness and drive real change in the community. We are also dedicated to offering support to local youth projects and initiative­s, as these young activists are the ones who will be shaping the future of this country, and it is vital that we offer them all the help they need in order to become active partners in social developmen­t,” said Nawaf Najia, Manager of the Corporate Communicat­ions Unit at KIB.

“KIB is especially focused on supporting healthcare-focused initiative­s, in its efforts to promote a greater sense of health consciousn­ess across the country,” added Najia. KIB’s sponsorshi­p of the ‘Diabetes Challenge Trip’ comes within the context of its holistic and robust social responsibi­lity program, and in line with its efforts to promote a culture of volunteeri­ng, collaborat­ive initiative­s and non-profit programs nationwide.
