Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB) has won the 17th Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work, the Emirati news agency WAM has reported. This is SIB's 4th time winning the award, which recognises organisations supporting volunteer work.
The bank was also praised for encouraging Emirati youth to volunteer.
Mohamed Abdalla, CEO of Sharjah Islamic Bank stressed that public and private entities should support society however they can. He said, "As part of the bank’s social responsibility, SIB is always looking to actively support voluntary initiatives, activities and institutions, to better align with the vision and directives of HH Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah."
"There is nothing more satisfying than extending support to those in need. Hence if you have the ability and resources to be of some help to the community, use the opportunity to the fullest," he advised.
