Burgan Bank is announcing its sponsorship of the "Green Unit Bazaar”, an annual non-profit event, which will take place at the "Kuwait English School” KES. The Green Unit department, a division in KES, aims at ensuring progressive development of the skills and talents of students with disabilities. The department caters to 125 students aged six to 21, with special educational needs, and focuses on offering them a healthy, safe and well-rounded educational environment. The bazaar, hosted annually, aims to help raise awareness and funds for students with special needs.

The bank's sponsorship of the "Green Unit Bazaar” originates from its commitment to supporting the most vulnerable groups by helping them integrate in and contribute to society.

During the bazaar, the school will run various fun activities for children, including bubble football, face painting, fun photo booth, hennah painting, archery, story reading and a raffle draw, to name a few. The kids will also have the opportunity to purchase educational toys, books, pieces of art, jewelry and enjoy food and beverages. The money that will be raised will be invested to provide the most effective learning environment for students with special educational needs. This falls under the school’s aim to always inspire, challenge and encourage its students to reach greater heights.

Burgan Bank's support of this initiative falls under its recently launched full-fledged community program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ – Together to be the change. 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.
