Zain’s Iftar Hall welcomes worshippers daily at the Grand Mosque of Kuwait
Initiative comes back for 17th year with 42,000 meals served
Zain announced the launch of its annual Iftar initiative to serve fasting individuals during the Holy Month of Ramadan, which comes back in its 17th year, this time in strategic partnership with the Grand Mosque of Kuwait. The company receives worshippers daily at the Mosque’s main tent as part of its annual social campaign, Zain Alshuhoor, with a total of 42,000 meals served throughout the entire month.
The initiative’s kick-off was attended by Grand Mosque Administration Director Ali Shadad, Zain Kuwait Corporate Relations Department Manager Hamad Al Musaibeeh, Zain and Grand Mosque officials, and members of the Zain Alshuhoor volunteer team. Zain’s Iftar initiative, which comes back for the 17th year, is a main pillar of Zain’s annual social program during the Holy Month. Meals are served daily at the Grand Mosque’s main tent, along with meals distributed through trucks across Kuwait in strategic partnership with the Kuwait Food Bank. The total number of meals served via both partners reaches 42,000 for the entire month.
The Iftar initiative is directly supervised and organized by Zain’s team. In addition, members of the Zain Alshuhoor volunteer team – that consists of Zain employees from across the company’s divisions
and departments – support the initiative, reflecting the Zain family’s commitment to bring about positive social impact in the community. The strategic partnership between Zain and the Grand Mosque not only encompasses the Iftar meals initiative, but also extends to many other programs and contributions that last throughout the Holy Month. These contributions include hospitality services for worshippers during the last ten days of Ramadan, Zain’s Holy Quran Recital competition, and the Zain employees Holy Quran Recital competition.
This year, six of Zain’s strategic community partners from both the public and private sectors join its annual Ramadan social campaign, Zain Alshuhoor. The campaign features a wide range of humanitarian, charitable, social, religious, health, and sports programs that continue throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan. Zain Alshuhoor is one of Kuwait’s biggest and most successful community programs during the Holy Month. Every year, the company introduces a bigger, renewed version of the campaign that expands upon the previous year in its initiatives and programs. The campaign strives to share the blessings of this much-cherished month with the entire Kuwaiti people.
