Alizz Islamic Bank organises special campaigns during Ramadhan to give back to the community and encourage volunteerism and philanthropy in keeping with the charitable spirit of the month. In line with the spirit of giving during Ramadhan, Alizz Islamic Bank (AIB) has launched the Alizz Iftar Sa'yim initiative for the fourth year running.
The primary goal of the Ramadhan initiative is to support low-income families in preparing for Ramadhan with essential foods including rice, wheat, lentils, sugar, milk, and oil. A secondary goal is to encourage employee volunteerism, the bank said, which offers a tangible way for businesses to become more personally invested in undertaking social issues, strengthen employee skills and morale, and cultivate a more positive and productive business environment.
Implementing the Islamic principles and values of charity and volunteer work during the month, Alizz Islamic Bank distributed 400 food packages for low-income families throughout major cities in Oman. A large number of Alizz Islamic Bank staff volunteered to participate in the distribution. Over a week employees travelled from the head office in the central business district (CBD) area to assist other employee volunteers in key locations including Wattayah, Muttrah, Al Amerat, A'Seeb, Nizwa, Sohar, Barka and Salalah.
Moosa Al Jadidi, COO, Alizz Islamic Bank, said "Our Iftar Say'im initiative aims at promoting the spirit of solidarity and cooperation within the bank, employees and the larger community by providing necessity to low income families during the holy month of Ramadhan.
"This initiative also plays a significant role to further encourage the concept of volunteerism within the bank's work environment."
