AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation Launches Series of Summer Programs

AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF) has launched its line-up of youth-focused summer programs under the Ithra initiative for 2025. These programs include Ithra Youth, Ithra Juniors, and Ithra Buds, delivering an enriching experience to a broad spectrum of age groups.

As a key enhancement, MKF has introduced a new age segment to the Ithra program, targeting participants aged 15 to 16. Called Ithra Youth, this initiative is designed to cultivate advanced skill sets, promote experiential learning, and equip participants with the tools they need to navigate the next stages of their academic and personal growth. Notably, graduates of the program can continue their development through age-appropriate tracks in subsequent years.

In parallel, the Foundation continues to provide its flagship training programs for younger age groups. Ithra Buds, designed for children aged 10 to 12, focuses on essential life skills delivered through playful and engaging learning journeys. Meanwhile, Ithra Juniors, tailored for ages 13 to 14, provides foundational scientific knowledge and hands-on experiences that help students contribute meaningfully to their communities. Each track accommodates over 30 participants per season.

The Ithra curriculum is meticulously developed based on comprehensive assessments of participants’ needs and ongoing self-evaluation processes. Sessions are led by qualified professionals and are rooted in interactive and experiential learning methodologies. With practical workshops, field visits, thematic challenges, training camps, sports activities, and creative arts, every module of the program is curated to spark curiosity and inspire personal development in a supportive and engaging environment.

Commenting on the launch of the 2025 Ithra summer series, Her Highness Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees at AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation, expressed her pride in the continued evolution of the program. Her Highness highlighted the Foundation’s mission to empower Bahrain’s youth to explore their potential through meaningful and interactive experiences. She affirmed that the program reflects a deep-rooted belief in the capabilities of young people and reiterates MKF’s commitment to investing in the next generation by shaping engaged, confident, and future-ready individuals.

AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation was established in 2011 as a non-profit organization registered and licensed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Development in the Kingdom. The Foundation strives to create a positive social impact in education and empower Bahraini youth to reach their full potential through learning opportunities that equip them with the knowledge, skills and practical experience that benefit both the individual and the nation.
