As a tribute to the special day by the Belgium embassy, Malika Madi, a well-known writer in Belgium and French speaking countries discussed “the paths of a woman with multiple belongings”, one of her works. Malika Madi published her first novel ‘Nuit d’encre pour Farah’ in 2005 where she earned the Best First Work of the French Community of Belgium.

This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural, social and health initiatives. Burgan Bank’s approach to ‘ENGAGE’ begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the Kuwaiti society.
