KUWAIT CITY, Dec 14: As part of its annual partnership with Al Ahmadi Governorate, Burgan Bank extended its support for the 9th Vocational Rehabilitation Exhibition, organized by the the Kuwait Society for the Handicapped’s (KSH) affiliate Day Care Center in South Sabahiya under the patronage and presence of H.E. Sheikh Hamoud Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Governor of Al Ahmadi. The sponsorship is part of Burgan’s comprehensive social responsibility program and its commitment to social sustainability and adopting the highest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

On this occasion, H.E. Sheikh Hamoud Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Governor of Al Ahmadi, said: “Advancing as a society, as an economy, and as a nation is a shared responsibility that we carry together, individuals and institutions alike. With the unwavering support of proactive corporate citizens, such as Burgan Bank, we are able to extend our uncompromising support to charity organizations, enabling them to provide the best possible care for members of our community with disabilities. This support is vital as it enables them to utilize their talents professionally and in turn become financially independent citizens and contributors to their own and our society’s growth.”

He added: “We thank Burgan Bank for its committed support for valuable events and we look forward to upholding our partnership with the different bodies and institutions, in a bid to reinforce social solidarity and achieve sustainable development.”

On her part, Mrs. Kholoud AlFeeli, Deputy General Manager – Corporate Communications at Burgan Bank, said: “Events such as KSH’s Vocational Rehabilitation Exhibition are a sign of our society’s healthy cohesion and collective commitment to looking after one another, especially those among us who require special care. As part of our yearlong comprehensive social responsibility program, we are honored to partner with Kuwait’s leading changemakers, such as Al Ahmadi Governorate and KSH to ensure the seamless integration of our society’s different groups and addressing their unique needs for a fulfilled life.”

It serves to note that Burgan Bank continues to support KSH in expanding its vocational rehabilitation program – which aims to develop several professional skills, including workshops on computer science, carpentry, tapestry, pottery, sewing, agriculture, and more. Furthermore, the Bank extends its support to the KSH community by celebrating their handicrafts, confirming the need for committing to their rehabilitation and advancing their skills, as well as supplying them with all the necessary tools to guarantee their success. Burgan Bank seeks to continue cooperating with different institutions and supporting social events, activities, and initiatives that shed light on Kuwait’s handicapped community and their development needs.
