KUWAIT: Jahez International Company (Jahez International), a pioneering platform that connects customers with their favorite restaurants through online orders, organized a series of community-driven and customer focused initiatives during March. These included strategic partnerships, exclusive collaborations, exciting competitions, and traditional celebrations, reflecting the company’s broader strategy to engage with its customers and support the community. Recognizing Ramadan as a time that brings people together through shared values and traditions, Jahez International implemented its March initiatives in a way that balanced its social impact in the community while engaging its customers.

Each initiative launched during the period was selected to address different community needs while offering customers meaningful ways to celebrate the values behind the holy month. Bader Al-Ajeel, Chief Executive Officer of Jahez International, said: “We at Jahez International are committed to creating long-term value through initiatives that strengthen our role as contributors to the Kuwaiti community. This Ramadan, we aligned our efforts through strategic partnerships and specific programs that support various causes and spread awareness, while also deepening our engagement with our valued customers.

These initiatives are part of our broader roadmap for 2025 that integrates social responsibility into our operations.” Al-Ajeel added: “Jahez International highly values the relationships it has formed with institutions that operate in the government and private sectors and entrepreneurs. Our commitment to serve as contributing members of the community drives us to continuous search for innovative ways to collaborate with our partners to create a stronger and wider impact.”

Promotions, collaborations

During Ramadan, Jahez International launched the “Jahazeyat Menu” on its app. The special box included stuffed grape leaves, chocolate fudge, muhalabiya, and a festive girgian gift box. Jahez also offered KD 1 cashback on every dessert ordered, adding further value for its users during the season.

Jahez International also introduced a TV series called “Qafsha Show”. The series, which aired on KTV and online platforms, featured a different Jahez Partner daily. Through the show, guests highlighted their Jahez-affiliated restaurants and the stories behind them, offering viewers a closer look at the people and passion driving local businesses. Additionally, Jahez introduced an exclusive collaboration between doh! and Chef Sawsan Matbakhi which included a new menu item — a modern twist on “Om Ali”. The dish was available exclusively through the Jahez App for delivery and was featured on doh!’s e-commerce store.

Community celebrations

Celebrating with the younger generation during girgian, Jahez International partnered with Weyay Bank to distribute 10,000 gift boxes in Andalus Mall and the Surra area. The event featured live music and entertainment activities, creating a festive atmosphere for the children and their families. On Mother’s Day, Jahez International offered complimentary deliveries on flowers through the “Jahez Flowers” tab listed on the Jahez App. Following its success during last Ramadan, Jahez International hosted its annual Baloot Competition from March 9–11. This year’s edition attracted 132 teams, all competing for the first-place prize of KD 1,500 and a second-place prize of KD 750.

The atmosphere was lively and charged with excitement, as participants showcased their skills while friends and family cheered them on. The first and second place winners were presented with their cash prizes from Jahez International. Similarly, Jahez International hosted a Jackaroo Competition for women, which was held at Andalus Mall on March 7 and 8. A total of 64 teams competed for the first place prize of KD 1,000, with the team in second place receiving KD 500 . Both events reflected Jahez International’s commitment to creating meaningful engagement through culturally relevant experiences.

Making a difference

As part of its initiatives for March, Jahez International organized an “Iftar Saem” initiative, in which the company distributed over 4,000 iftar meals during Ramadan. The initiative was launched in collaboration with Zajel Kuwait, a local non-profit organization, which assisted Jahez International in setting up the initiative and distributing the meals. Additionally, the company participated in the “Longest Iftar Table” initiative, a renowned event held at Souq Sharq where people gather to break their fast.

Additionally, Jahez International initiated strategic partnerships with four local charities. These charities included Direct Aid Society, Balad Alkhair Society, The Kuwait Society for Endowment of Humanity and Development and Al-Najat Charity. This significant step reflects Jahez International’s vision of becoming a strong contributor to society, both in Kuwait and across the world. The company will be promoting these initiatives through the Jahez App and its digital platforms to raise awareness on the various causes.

It is worth mentioning that Jahez-Kuwait entered the competitive food delivery industry with an innovative customer centric approach. By allowing customers to simply drop a pin for delivery without needing to enter an address, Jahez-Kuwait provides a seamless and intuitive experience that takes convenience to a new level. The platform further empowers its users with flexible payment options, offering the freedom to pay anytime, whether before or after delivery, putting the control squarely in customers’ hands. Additionally, in collaboration with select partners, Jahez offers up to 50 percent off at some restaurants, providing unmatched value and making it a truly compelling choice for food delivery in Kuwait.

KUWAIT: The Kuwait Environment Protection Society (KEPS) has announced the launch of the 26th season of its “Sea Turtle Rescue” campaign, set to begin on November 8 with a beach cleanup at Kuwait Towers. The initiative is organized in cooperation with the Japanese Embassy and the Japanese Society, with participation from government agencies, civil society groups and students from schools taking part in the 15th Green Schools Program this academic year.

KEPS Secretary General and Director of Programs and Activities Jenan Behzad said in a press statement Sunday the campaign aims to raise environmental awareness about the protection of endangered species and the preservation of natural habitats along Kuwait’s coast. She said the initiative reflects civil society’s role in supporting environmental sustainability and safeguarding biodiversity, while underscoring the historical and ecological importance of sea turtles in the Arabian Gulf.

Behzad noted the campaign encourages community engagement by inviting volunteers, citizens and residents to take part in field activities such as beach cleanups, monitoring turtle nests and promoting awareness of the coastal ecosystem. She added the effort represents a model of international cooperation between KEPS, the Japanese Embassy and the Japanese Society in the fields of environment, education and volunteering, reflecting a shared commitment to sustainable development and marine conservation.

She recalled that last year’s 25th season further strengthened efforts to instill a culture of volunteering and environmental participation among citizens and residents. On turtle species found in Kuwait, Behzad said they include green turtles, loggerhead turtles, hawksbill turtles and leatherback turtles. Despite ongoing environmental challenges, she said recent studies show green turtles are beginning to resume nesting activity, while hawksbill turtles continue to face hatching difficulties. Behzad stressed that the return of turtles to Kuwaiti territorial waters is a positive sign of marine recovery in the northern Gulf, thanks to sustained local and international environmental protection efforts. — KUNA

LONDON: Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Al-Budaiwi affirmed that the distinguished Gulf-British partnership is rooted in a long history of cooperation and mutual trust, expressing confidence in a promising future built on common interests and shared values. Al-Budaiwi made the remarks during his address before members of the British Parliament, including Lords, senior officials, experts and legislators in London. He extended his sincere appreciation to Lord McNicol, Member of the House of Lords and the UK’s Trade Envoy to Jordan, Kuwait and the Palestinian Territories, for the invitation and warm reception. He also lauded Lord McNicol’s efforts in promoting stronger ties between the GCC and the United Kingdom.

The GCC chief underscored that relations between the two sides have evolved from traditional cooperation to a comprehensive partnership encompassing political coordination, security and defense cooperation, cultural exchange, and robust economic and investment ties. He highlighted the strategic importance of the ongoing Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations between the GCC and the UK, noting that talks have reached advanced stages thanks to the shared determination of both parties.

Al-Budaiwi said that finalizing the FTA would represent a significant milestone in broadening horizons for trade, investment, and innovation — particularly in the fields of clean energy, modern technology and digital services. “It will also link the ambitious developmental transformations in GCC countries with the global economic strengths of the United Kingdom,” he noted.

He further emphasized that the Gulf-British partnership extends beyond economic cooperation, describing it as a partnership grounded in principles of dialogue, respect for international law, and joint action to promote security, stability, and peace while combating extremism and supporting global development. “It serves common interests and achieves mutual prosperity for the peoples of the Gulf and Britain,” Al-Budaiwi concluded.

On the sidelines of his visit, Al-Budaiwi met with UK Minister of State for the Middle East and North Africa Hamish Falconer. The two officials discussed GCC-UK relations within the framework of the strategic partnership and ways to further enhance cooperation to serve shared interests. They also reviewed the progress of the FTA negotiations, a new joint action plan, and the latest regional and international developments, particularly the situation in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Budaiwi also held talks with UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Peter Kyle and Minister of State for Trade Affairs Chris Bryant, during which they discussed the latest updates on the GCC-UK FTA negotiations. The GCC Secretary General stressed the importance of intensifying joint efforts and bridging remaining gaps in the negotiation process, emphasizing that the agreement would significantly strengthen trade and economic relations and open new avenues for cooperation in multiple sectors. — KUNA
