NBK concludes its annual social program for Ramadan

National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) concluded its philanthropic Ramadan campaign which comprised a series of activities and events aimed at encouraging community engagement and solidarity and charity in Kuwait during the holy month of Ramadan.

NBK Public Relations Officer Talal Al-Turki said that NBK's Iftar Banquets, which comes within a well-mapped social program that comprises a multitude of philanthropic activities, was received this year with remarkable participation at NBK’s tent located opposite to the Grand Mosque in Sharq area. Also, more than 80,000 Iftar meals have been distributed at week-ends to fasters at various mosques and crowded areas in Kuwait via special convoys and under the supervision of tens of NBK staff volunteers.

Al Turki added that NBK has dedicated part of its fast-breaking banquets to victims of the crushing drought and famine affecting more than 3.7 million Somalis – most of them children - in East Africa. “It is part of NBK’s corporate social responsibility to help people in crisis and support the state of Kuwait on the official and public fronts to help our friends in such circumstances”.

Al-Turki stressed that NBK's Ramadan Banquets campaign represents a new concept of the private sector humanitarian and philanthropic involvement and has become one of the main pillars of NBK's corporate social responsibility endeavor.

Al Tukri added that NBK Ramadan Social Program included also daily quizes with valued prizes through NBK’s official social media channels on Facebook & Twitter, daily Ramadan tips, and visits by NBK's Public Relations personnel and staff volunteers to NBK Children’s Hospital, as well as the distribution of Gerge'an throughout NBK's branch network.
