KIB launches comprehensive Ramadan campaign

KUWAIT: As part of its social and humanitarian duty towards the local community, Kuwait International Bank (KIB) launched its special Ramadan campaign for this year. The campaign will kick off at the beginning of the holy month, under the umbrella of the Bank’s leading social responsibility program. Additionally, KIB has already begun distributing its Ramadan calendar 2018 for prayer timings as a gift to its customers at its head office and at branches across the country. The calendar features a stylish, catchy design and comes in a variety of sizes for different uses.

This year’s campaign will carry out a diverse and comprehensive program comprising religious, community-based and sports activities and initiatives, reflecting KIB’s integral role as a national financial institution and its commitment

towards the local community.

Manager of the Corporate Communications Unit at KIB, Nawaf Najia, said: “Our Ramadan campaign this year is packed with impactful initiatives that truly reflect the Holy Month’s value of giving and KIB’s relentless commitment to giving back to the community. The campaign also exemplifies the Bank’s leading role as an active member within the community, not only through its outstanding banking solutions, but also through its desire to serve all segments of the community and establish itself as a partner in every aspect of its customers’ lives; a true ‘Bank for Life’.”

KIB’s comprehensive program will celebrate Ramadan through a series of humanitarian initiatives and charitable activities for all its customers and employees, as well as diverse segments in the community. As part of these various community-based initiatives and activities, the Bank will also offer its financial and moral support to a number of charitable institutions. Additionally, KIB will organize a number of visits to schools, nursing homes, and orphanages to spread joy and happiness amongst them. Throughout Ramadan, KIB will also embrace long-held local traditions and customs such as organizing a girgean celebration for children, guraish, and the annual Ramadan ghabqa for its employees to bring people together and promote

a friendly atmosphere.

In addition to distributing Ramadan food supplies and refreshing beverages throughout Ramadan, KIB will also launch its food package initiative, ‘Al-Mashla’. The initiative aims at distributing Ramadan food packages to fasting families in need across Kuwait, with the participation of a large number of volunteers. On the occasion of Eid, the program will also include the distribution of vouchers across the local community to share the joy of Eid and spread the spirit of celebration and happiness.

In line with its ongoing commitment towards promoting Islamic values amongst diverse segments of the community, KIB will also hold its Annual Ramadan Quran Memorization Competition for its staff and their children, as well as the children of its customers. Additionally, the Bank will organize several religious lectures for its staff across all departments.

KIB is also dedicated to supporting youth and sports-related activities. Accordingly, the Bank is set to participate in several annual sports activities and programs, such as the late Jassim Al-Sharhan Ramadan annual football tournament, Al-Qattan tournament, the Late Abdullah Meshari Al-Roudhan Ramadan Indoor Football Tournament, as well as the Ramadan Football Tournament for its staff.
