As part of its pan-Arab social responsibility and outreach, National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has donated $500,000 to feed people in Somalia suffering from lack of food and water.
NBK has also launched an emergency donation campaign through all its branches and channels in collaboration with the Fundraising People’s Committee and Kuwait Red Crescent Society. A special NBK account number (1000354951) has been set up to channel donations.
NBK Group deputy CEO Isam J Al Sager met Fundraising People's Committee member Qais N Al Nusif to consider all means of support and assistance that NBK can provide for Somalia famine victims.
“This initiative is part of NBK’s corporate social responsibility to help people in crisis in the Arab world,” Al Sager said. - TradeArabia News Service
