Burgan Bank invests in youth through its sponsorship of Kuwait’s largest under 18 youth community service group ‘Hand in Hand’

Burgan Bank, the second largest conventional bank in terms of assets in Kuwait, is proud to be an ongoing sponsor of Kuwait’s most inspirational and largest under 18 youth community service group, ‘Hand In Hand’. This month, ‘Hand in Hand’, which operates under Al-Bayan Bilingual School, has planned a dynamic agenda for each weekend, wherein youth will be able to contribute to those in need.

The group’s planned agenda for the month of April includes spending time with ill and disabled children at  Bayt Abdullah Children's Hospice (BACCH), KACCH, and Al-Kharafi  Activity Kids Center for Disabilities. It will also include organizing a Charity Gala to raise funds for those in need. Other projects revolve around the environment, with beach and public park clean-ups, as well as painting the walls of Al-Amal Indian School and the Gulf Pakistan English School. The group will also directly provide aid to the poor by preparing and distributing food boxes.  All their activities revolve around giving back and teaching youth to volunteer their time and effort for good causes.

Part of the National Honor Society, ‘Hand in Hand’ is the largest student-run community service group and consists of 150 passionate volunteers from Al-Bayan Bilingual School. The sponsorship falls under the bank’s commitment towards its Corporate Social Responsibility, which aims at providing support to young inspiring groups whose simple work and efforts make a significant difference in the community, while teaching them how to become responsible members of the society who work to give back to others.

Burgan Bank believes that investing in the young generation goes hand in hand with investing in Kuwait’s future. The Bank feels very privileged to extend its hand and provide support to such a young, passionate and hardworking community service group of school-aged youth and children.

The sponsorship falls under Burgan Bank’s full-fledged community program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ – Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural, social and health initiatives.  Burgan Bank’s approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the Kuwaiti society.
