KIB presents lecture at Safiya Middle School

KUWAIT: As part of its leading social responsibility program aimed at promoting better financial literacy and spreading greater economic awareness amongst local youth students, Kuwait International Bank (KIB) recently visited the Safiya Middle School for Girls. During the visit, the bank presented a lecture entitled ‘Basic skills of saving and spending’, which was attended by a number of students and teachers.

This latest visit came as part of KIB’s ongoing efforts to directly engage with students, and enrich their knowledge about banking and finance. This stems from the Bank’s belief in the importance of spreading financial literacy amongst the future generation, especially when it comes to teaching them about the basics of saving and spending.

Speaking about the Bank’s financial literacy program, Team Leader of Corporate Communications at KIB, Fahad Al-Sarhan, said: “KIB continuously looks for opportunities to organize visits to various schools across the country. In doing so, we hope to encourage students to further their education, as we believe this is the key to the country’s future development on the one hand, and an important tool to help in spreading economic awareness amongst students on the other.”

Sarhan added that the visit included a lecture on ‘Basic skills of saving and spending’, which comes as part of KIB’s ongoing efforts to foster financial and economic awareness amongst the nation’s youth, as well as introduce them to various savings methods and proper financial management. At the end of the visit, Sarhan wished all students a year full of successes and achievements, and distributed a number of gifts and mementos amongst students in a friendly, joyful atmosphere laden.

Through its leading social responsibility program, KIB continuously seeks to sponsor and organize community-based initiatives that contribute to the development of all segments across the local community. Additionally, as part of its comprehensive plan developed over the past couple of years, KIB has focused on promoting greater financial literacy and enhanced economic awareness amongst the nation’s younger generations.
