Continuing its pioneering role in corporate social responsibility and its ongoing commitment to supporting education and empowering youth, Kuwait Finance House (KFH) is maintaining its strategic partnership with the “My School” (Darasti) exhibition in its sixth edition, held at the Kuwait International Fairgrounds in Mishref under the patronage and attendance of Minister of Education Eng. Sayed Jalal Al-Tabatabai, who praised KFH’s role and its significant contribution to supporting various educational and youth initiatives.

On this occasion, Yusuf Abdullah Al-Ruwais, Head of Public Relations and Media at KFH Group, stated that the strategic partnership with the “My School” exhibition reflects the bank’s continued commitment to supporting educational and developmental initiatives aimed at youth and students, providing opportunities that help them explore diverse academic options and discover majors and educational pathways suited to their future aspirations.

Al-Ruwais noted that the sixth edition of the exhibition gains additional significance as one of the events of the “Kuwait Youth and Sports Season,” reflecting growing national interest in youth and underscoring the importance of integrating efforts by state institutions and the private sector to support, empower, and highlight their capabilities and potential.

Supporting Education and Empowering Youth

Al-Ruwais added that supporting education and empowering youth are two fundamental pillars within KFH’s corporate social responsibility strategy, stemming from the bank’s belief in the importance of investing in human capital and its role in achieving sustainable development. He clarified that the bank is keen on building effective partnerships with educational institutions and youth-focused entities, and participating in initiatives that contribute to developing their skills and enhancing their readiness to meet future demands. He reaffirmed KFH’s continued launch and support of distinctive initiatives that enhance opportunities for education, development, and innovation, providing youth with an inspiring environment to discover their potential and transform their aspirations into tangible achievements, in line with the bank’s corporate social responsibility strategy and its role as an active partner in supporting the journey of sustainable development.

“My School” Exhibition

Al-Ruwais pointed out that the “My School” exhibition serves as a comprehensive educational platform that brings together local and international universities, training institutes, and specialized educational service providers under one roof, enabling students and parents to explore various academic opportunities and engage in direct communication with representatives of educational institutions. This helps them make informed decisions regarding their academic and professional futures. In the context of its ongoing efforts to support students, Al-Ruwais emphasized KFH’s commitment to participating in various initiatives that aid students, highlighting the partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education in the national external scholarship campaign “Wajhni” (Guide Me), which attracted over 5,000 participants and contributed to raising awareness about the importance of proper academic planning and introducing available educational opportunities within external scholarship programs.

“With Students” Platform to Showcase Talents

He also mentioned the strategic partnership with the “With Students” program, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Information, aimed at showcasing the talents and capabilities of school students and developing their knowledge and cultures through diverse educational and awareness content broadcast on Kuwait Television and the “51” platform, involving more than 1,200 students representing 24 schools.

Sustainable Educational Partnerships

Al-Ruwaih emphasized that Kuwait Finance House (KFH) places education and youth, particularly students, at the forefront of its priorities within its comprehensive corporate social responsibility program. This is achieved through a variety of initiatives and programs aimed at supporting students and developing their capabilities, via strategic partnerships with universities and colleges, participation in specialized seminars and workshops, and backing student initiatives, graduation projects, and events that celebrate academic excellence and scientific innovation.

A Comprehensive Pavilion

Reflecting its commitment to its social role in promoting financial literacy among younger generations, KFH is participating in the exhibition through a comprehensive pavilion that highlights the importance of financial planning and personal financial resource management.

The pavilion also introduces students and visitors to banking services and solutions tailored for youth, most notably the “Hesabi” account, through a specialized team that provides guidance and answers inquiries, thereby contributing to enhancing financial awareness and instilling sound financial practices among young people. The KFH pavilion witnessed significant interest and active engagement from students, parents, and exhibition visitors.
