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."‎
