'Al-Khalij' Settles Tuition Fees for Children of Needy Families

In line with its firm commitment to its social responsibilities and its continuous support for the education sector, Gulf Bank announced its contribution to covering the tuition fees of a number of students from low-income families, in collaboration with the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, as part of the “Back to School” campaign aimed at supporting students and alleviating the financial burdens on their families with the start of the new academic year.

This initiative is an extension of the long-term strategic partnership between Gulf Bank and the Red Crescent Society, which has yielded numerous humanitarian and social initiatives and projects over the past years aimed at supporting various segments of society, particularly low-income families. These efforts have included providing humanitarian aid and contributing to various community and relief initiatives focused on this demographic, reflecting both parties’ commitment to strengthening the values of social solidarity and consolidating the culture of giving and volunteerism.

Following the reception of a delegation from the Red Crescent Society, Najla Al-Eissa, Head of Marketing at Gulf Bank, affirmed the bank’s pride in its extended strategic partnership with the society, praising the pioneering humanitarian and social role the society plays on various fronts, whether through its relief and humanitarian efforts within Kuwait or its supportive initiatives for victims and those in need in many countries around the world.

She noted that the Red Crescent Society serves as a model for humanitarian and volunteer work, given the quality of services and initiatives it provides that contribute to enhancing social solidarity and consolidating the values of giving and human solidarity. She emphasized the bank’s commitment to continuing cooperation with the society to implement further initiatives that serve the community and support the most vulnerable groups.

For his part, Fawaz Al-Muzarie, the Society’s General Manager, presented Al-Eissa with a letter of appreciation in recognition of the distinguished role the bank plays in supporting the society’s humanitarian and community activities and programs.

Al-Muzarie expressed his deep appreciation for Gulf Bank’s contributions and its ongoing initiatives in the field of social responsibility, commending the bank’s commitment to supporting the humanitarian and charitable projects implemented by the society. He affirmed that this effective partnership contributes to enhancing efforts aimed at serving the community and meeting the needs of deserving groups.

Gulf Bank places special emphasis on supporting education as one of the fundamental pillars of sustainable development and of empowering individuals and communities. From this perspective, the bank is keen to launch and support educational initiatives that contribute to providing equal educational opportunities for students, helping them continue their academic journey and achieve their future aspirations.

These efforts also align with the bank’s sustainability strategy and its commitment to contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4 on Quality Education and Goal 10 on Reduced Inequalities, by supporting the most vulnerable groups and enhancing their opportunities for integration and active participation in society.

The bank believes that investing in education represents a long-term investment in human and economic development, contributing to building a more prosperous and sustainable society for future generations.
