NBK hosting iftar meals all across Kuwait

The National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has shared that its annual Doing Good Deeds programme for this year's Ramadhan will include hosting iftar banquets that will be held near the Grand Mosque. 

Fast-breaking meals will also be offered at various mosques and other locations throughout Kuwait. NBK will also distribute iftar meals via special convoys that will tour the more crowded areas in the country. NBK staff volunteers will manage and supervise the fast-breaking banquets.

Abdelmohsin Al Rushaid, NBK Public Relations Manager said: “NBK will ramp up its charitable activities as a good corporate citizen of Kuwait. NBK hopes to encourage a greater sense of community and charity during Ramadhan and encourages its customers and staff to participate by ‘doing good deeds’ all month long.

“It is a well rooted tradition that has been carried out by NBK each year in its efforts to continuously have an active role in the Kuwait society. NBK believes in the power of doing good.”

The NBK Ramadan Social Program will also include several visits by volunteers to NBK Children’s Hospital and other social institutions.
