The General Secretariat of Waqf announced on Sunday the schools that qualified for the winning positions in the second season of the “Mafaz” competition, aimed at raising awareness about waqf, zakat, and charitable work. The competition is sponsored by the Minister of Waqf and Islamic Affairs, Dr. Mohammed Al-Osaimi, and conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Kuwait Zakat House.
Lina Al-Mutawa, Director of the Studies, Information, and Documentation Department and Chair of the High Committee for the “Mafaz” competition, stated in her speech at the press conference, where sponsoring and participating entities were honored, that the competition had transcended local boundaries to achieve high-level Gulf recognition.
Al-Mutawa added that efforts succeeded in securing the endorsement of the 12th Meeting of Officials for Islamic Affairs and Waqf of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries for the competition, transforming it into the “GCC Waqf Mafaz Competition,” which carries Kuwait’s humanitarian and civilizational message to its sister countries in the Council.
She clarified that the second season witnessed a qualitative breakthrough thanks to an effective strategic partnership between the General Secretariat of Waqf, the Ministry of Education (Capital and Al-Jahra Education Regions), and the Kuwait Zakat House. A total of 80 schools participated across the middle and secondary levels for both boys and girls (44 schools from the Capital and 36 from Al-Jahra).
She noted that this significant engagement culminated in the announcement of 12 schools qualified for the final stage, with six schools from each level. The qualified middle schools are: Abada ibn Al-Samit Middle School (Boys), Youssef Al-Sayed Hashim Al-Rifai Middle School (Boys), Al-Salibiyah Middle School (Boys), Al-Mutla Middle School (Girls), Al-Samtah Middle School (Girls), and Granada Middle School (Girls).
