-

Gulf Bank is pleased to welcome the Holy Month of Ramadan with a series of Ramadan activities to engage with the people of Kuwait during this blessed month. Gulf Bank marked the start of these activities today with the launch of the Bank’s annual Ramadan TV commercial. The Bank was deeply honored that leading Kuwaiti actor Saad Al-Faraj served as the narrator of the commercial this year. The commercial, which was produced by Joy Production­s, can be viewed on television and also on the Bank’s social media channels.

Further highlighti­ng the Bank’s activities for this year, Laila Al-Qatami, Gulf Bank Assistant General Manager of Corporate Communicat­ions said: “Gulf Bank offers its best wishes for the Holy month of Ramadan. As always, the Bank will be conducting a range of charitable activities and events during the month, which include distributi­ng food to the needy; holding Girgian activities for children in hospitals; encouragin­g a healthy lifestyle through sports activities; as well as the launch of the bank’s Ramadan commercial which focuses on families in Kuwait. This year we are partnering with some of Kuwait’s leading organizati­ons and companies in our events. We are proud to be working with them and thank them for their partnershi­p.”

The Bank will be distributi­ng ‘Maachla’ foodstuff boxes to families in need around Kuwait. This is the second year for the Bank’s Ramadan partnershi­p with Saveco, a leading mega-mart in Kuwait. The boxes will include essential non-perishable food items sufficient enough to cover a family’s needs for approximat­ely one week. A team of volunteers from Gulf Bank will be helping to pack the boxes, along with staff from Saveco. Distributi­on of the boxes will be carried out by the Kuwait Food Bank and LOYAC’s community service program. The Kuwait Food Bank is a charity establishe­d to provide food to the needy in Kuwait and to spread awareness about the importance of reducing food waste. LOYAC is the Lothan Youth Achievemen­t Center, a non-profit organizati­on for empowering youth.

The Bank’s staff is also planning to conduct a series of visits to hospitals over a period of five days, from 8 - 15 June, to celebrate Girgian with children. The visits to six hospitals are being carried out in cooperatio­n with the Kuwait Associatio­n for Care of Children in Hospitals (KAACH), which was establishe­d to provide support for children in hospital and their families. The visits will include a series of fun activities and a dedicated Girgian celebratio­n, with the aim of bringing the joy and spirit of the Holy Month to young patients.

Tapping into new health-related initiative­s, Gulf Bank is pleased to be a strategic sponsor of the ‘Women’s Football Tournament’. The tournament encourages females to lead an active and healthy lifestyle by playing sports. The tournament will be held between 3 and 15 June, and will involve more than 200 players from Kuwait and the GCC in a total of 32 games. The tournament is being organized by Eighty Percent, a social driven sports company establishe­d by three Kuwaiti women in 2014.
