Ooredoo strategic partner in ‘Arab Youth Capital 2017’

Ooredoo, Kuwait’s fastest network, proudly announced its strategic partnership in the regional initiative ‘Kuwait - Capital of Arab Youth 2017.’ The initiative was announced earlier with endorsement from the Arab League. Ooredoo Kuwait stated that this partnership stems from its deep-rooted values of caring, connecting and challenging, and is in tandem with its corporate social responsibility agenda, which aims to enrich the experience of youth and support their passions. Ooredoo aims to participate in a number of events that are part of the initiative in the following month, activating the memorandum of understanding that it signed with the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs last year.

Kuwait was chosen in the 38th assembly of the Arab Ministers of Youth and Sports Council. A number of activities will take place throughout the initiative’s program, with a focus on involving private sector entities in enriching youth experience under the umbrella of corporate social responsibility. Additionally, the initiative will conclude with declaring a charter for building a constructive national youth policy.

Empowering youth is among Ooredoo’s top priorities through its CSR strategy. The company has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs, to support youth projects and initiatives, making it the first telecom provider in Kuwait to sign such a highlevel agreement. Ooredoo is continuously working with the Ministry to enrich youth experience in a variety of fields, with a focus on volunteerism.
