Al-Khalij contributes to paying tuition fees for children from underprivileged families
In line with its steadfast commitment to social responsibility and its continuous support for the education sector, Gulf Bank announced its contribution toward covering the tuition fees of students from underprivileged families. This initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Kuwait Red Crescent Society as part of the “Back to School” campaign, which aims to support students and alleviate the financial burden on their families at the start of the new academic year.
This initiative extends the long-term strategic partnership between Gulf Bank and the Kuwait Red Crescent Society. Over the past years, this partnership has yielded numerous humanitarian and social initiatives and projects aimed at supporting various segments of society, particularly underprivileged families. These efforts have included providing humanitarian aid and contributing to various community and relief initiatives focused on this demographic, reflecting both parties’ dedication to strengthening social solidarity and fostering a culture of giving and volunteerism.
Following a meeting with a delegation from the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, Najla Al-Aissa, Head of Marketing at Gulf Bank, affirmed the bank’s pride in its enduring strategic partnership with the Society. She praised the Society’s pioneering humanitarian and community role across various fronts, whether through its relief and humanitarian efforts within Kuwait or its initiatives supporting those affected and in need in many countries around the world.
Al-Aissa noted that the Kuwait Red Crescent Society serves as a model for humanitarian and volunteer work, given the quality services and initiatives it provides to enhance social solidarity and instill values of generosity and human solidarity. She emphasized Gulf Bank’s commitment to continuing its cooperation with the Society to implement further initiatives that serve the community and support the most vulnerable groups.
For his part, Fawaz Al-Mazrouei, General Manager of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society, presented Najla Al-Aissa with a letter of appreciation, recognizing the bank’s distinguished role in supporting the Society’s humanitarian and community activities and programs.
Al-Mazrouei expressed his deep appreciation for Gulf Bank’s contributions and its ongoing initiatives in the field of corporate social responsibility. He commended the bank’s commitment to supporting the humanitarian and charitable projects implemented by the Society, and affirmed that this effective partnership contributes to strengthening efforts aimed at serving the community and meeting the needs of eligible beneficiaries.
In this regard, the bank is keen to launch and support educational initiatives that help provide equitable educational opportunities for students, enabling them to complete their academic journeys 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. This is achieved 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.
