KUWAIT CITY, Apr 24: In celebration of World Earth Day, Weyay Bank, Kuwait’s leading digital bank, organized an event for girls at Al- Kharafi Activity Center for Disabled Children in collaboration with the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS). The event aimed to raise environmental awareness among girls and encourage them to adopt sustainable practices in an interactive and engaging way.
The event featured an inspiring activity where a group of girls participated in a hands-on experience of planting and caring for plants, symbolizing the growth of environmental awareness and care for the planet. Additionally, an educational book published by KFAS was distributed to provide them with the necessary knowledge and understanding of the importance of preserving natural resources and biodiversity.
Fawaz Al-Qaban, Public Relations and Media Manager at Al-Kharafi Center, commended Weyay Bank’s role in creating such a positive atmosphere that brought smiles to the girls’ faces. He stated in his speech during the Bank team’s visit to the center: “We thank Weyay Bank for their presence at the center to celebrate Earth Day, and we look forward to more visits and initiatives in the coming days.”
This initiative stems from Weyay Bank’s belief that promoting environmental awareness is not merely an ethical responsibility but a necessary investment in the future of coming generations and ensuring their quality of life. Through this initiative, the Bank seeks to instill the values of sustainability and environmental responsibility in members of society, encouraging them to adopt environmentally friendly daily behaviors and practices.
This has been demonstrated through the Bank’s full reliance on digital operations, which significantly reduces the need for paper and traditional resources, thereby contributing to the preservation of natural resources. Furthermore, Weyay Bank is committed to providing recyclable plastic cards to its customers and continuously works to enhance digital banking options and solutions that minimize the environmental impact of its operations and services, which all solidifies Weyay Bank’s leading position as the first digital bank in the country.
Moreover, this significant environmental initiative aligns with Weyay Bank’s comprehensive vision for social responsibility, which includes supporting initiatives that serve the community in various vital areas such as education, health, and youth empowerment. The Bank strives to achieve balance and integration between the economic, social, and environmental dimensions in achieving comprehensive sustainable development. In this context, Fawaz AlNakib, Campaign and Partnership Manager at Weyay Bank, stated: “We firmly believe that our future is closely linked to the health of our planet. Our initiative to celebrate World Earth Day embodies our commitment to building a more sustainable future for our coming generations. We always strive to be an active part in bringing about positive change in our society through our diverse initiatives that serve both people and the environment.”
