Jordan Ahli Bank, represented by Deputy CEO for Group Strategy & Corporate Communications, Saad Mouasher, and Executive Manager for Marketing and Corporate Communications Management, Rania Nasrawi, recently conducted a visit to the Queen Rania Family and Child Center (QRFCC) at Jabal Al Nasr, which operates under the Jordan River Foundation (JRF). Mouasher and Nasrawi were received by JRF's Director General Valentina Qussisiya and the Manager of the foundation’s Child Safety Program Samia Bishara Rizeq.

This visit is considered an extension of the continued support provided by the bank to the QRFCC, which was founded with the objective of helping children on a grassroots level by spreading awareness on child safety and protection from abuse and organizing far-reaching programs and initiatives to assist abused children. The visit entailed a comprehensive overview of the center's Interactive Library, which seeks to reinforce communication between children and to instill in them the concepts of children's rights and protection from abuse through various interactive programs.

During his visit, Mouasher encouraged the children to pursue their dreams and to work hard toward realizing them, emphasizing that success comes to those who persevere and who adopt the right mindset.

Commenting on Ahli Bank's support of the QRFCC, Mouasher said: “We are committed to initiatives that truly invest in the future and our children and that foster a genuine collaborative spirit within the community. This comes as part of our continued efforts to improve the quality of life for all the valuable members of the Jordanian community.”

During the visit, Mouasher and Nasrawi also attended one of the sessions of the Aflatoun Program, which seeks to empower children by instilling in them rudimentary financial management principles, such as those relating to the ownership and management of savings accounts. The concept was first tested in India nearly 18 years ago with the integration of basic financial principles into the child's rights programs at various schools.

Jordan Ahli Bank is considered one of the leading and most active financial institutions in the arena of social responsibility. The bank regularly supports and organizes various initiatives geared toward improving the quality of life for citizens everywhere.
