Ithmaar Bank, a Bahrain-based Islamic retail bank, distributed shopping vouchers and financial support to licensed charitable societies across the Kingdom to help support low income families during the holy month of Ramadan.
In total, Ithmaar Bank worked with more
than 100 charitable societies to ensure as many deserving families as possible
receive the necessary support.
“As
a pioneering Islamic retail Bank, Ithmaar Bank recognizes the important and
continuous role we play in supporting the community,” said Ithmaar Bank Chief
Executive, Ahmed Abdul Rahim. “This is a responsibility we take very seriously
and, one way we do so is by providing donations and other financial support for
initiatives that focus on the growth and development of the community. As part of this commitment, every year Ithmaar Bank provides
financial support to low income families during Ramadan through charitable
societies. This support helps such families buy essential items during the holy
month,” he said.
“Ithmaar
Bank also fulfils its responsibility towards the community by making regular
contributions to various sport, educational, health and many other initiatives
that aim to develop the community,” said Abdul Rahim. “The initiatives which
are supported by the Bank are chosen based on predetermined criteria to ensure
that any funds we disburse are used to achieve specific welfare objectives that
are in line with the Bank's Corporate Social Responsibility strategy,” he said.
