As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program for the holy month of Ramadan this year, Burgan Bank is renewing its cooperation with the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) to organize a Ramadan food basket distribution initiative to consolidate the values of solidarity, giving and compassion in the community. This charitable act falls under the umbrella of the Bank’s long-established strategic partnership with KRCS to support needy families in overcoming livelihood challenges.
The initiative will witness the participation of a Burgan Bank team in distributing integrated Ramadan food baskets to families in various regions of Kuwait over the course of two days, alongside other KRCS volunteers. During the month of goodness, a total of 500 food baskets that include different types of food items will be distributed to families. This falls in line with the Bank’s commitment to playing an active humanitarian role within its community and contributing to improving people’s lives.
Ms. Hessa Hussain Al-Najadah, Senior Manager–Corporate & CSR Communications at Burgan Bank, said: “We are proud of our ongoing partnership and cooperation with KRCS. To mark the occasion of the holy month, 500 Ramadan food baskets were distributed to underprivileged families in various regions across Kuwait. This initiative comes as part of the Bank’s social responsibility program and its Ramadan campaign under the slogan ‘Driven by Good’, reflecting the values of the blessed month of Ramadan, which include the act of giving, helping others and performing good deeds.”
She added: “As part of efforts to foster the concept of social responsibility, Burgan Bank renewed its partnership with KRCS this year to assist in community development and enrich the spirit of humanitarian work in Kuwait.”
Meanwhile, Mrs. Shaima Younes Al-Shatti, General of Fundraising at KRCS, said: “Each year during the holy month, we renew our thanks and gratitude to Burgan Bank for its notable efforts and continuous commitment to support families across Kuwait. We are pleased to consistently play a key part in humanitarian initiatives that promote the concept of social responsibility across private sector institutions, contribute to the advancement of society, and enhance the values and principles of communication, giving and benevolence. This is achieved by raising awareness about the importance of humanitarian efforts and the need to achieve sustainable development for all members of society.”
It is worth noting that this annual initiative is part of a series of programs Burgan Bank is organizing throughout the holy month of Ramadan to further strengthen its positive contribution to the wider community. Moreover, the Bank always strives to involve its employees in charity and humanitarian work, reflecting its endeavors to encourage social responsibility and community engagement.
