KUWAIT: In a step to foster the spirit of giving, sharing, and community, Zain joined a special initiative held to celebrate World Children’s Day at Bayt Abdullah Children’s Hospice (BACCH). The joyful event, organized by the ‘Sahabat Amal’ volunteer team in collaboration with the Kuwait Association for the Care of Children in Hospitals (KACCH), brought together children, families, and volunteers for a day of fun, laughter, and heartwarming moments.
Zain’s contribution to this wonderful gathering came under its ongoing partnership with ‘Sahabat Amal’, BACCH, and KACCH, through which the company has had many fruitful initiatives and programs throughout the years to serve the humanitarian goals of the three non-profits. By actively supporting such projects, Zain seeks to reflect the commitment and key role of the private sector in shouldering civil society organizations to create a positive social impact in the community.
The event consisted of many entertaining segments that brought joy to the children and their families and friends, like reading interactive stories, distributing toys and gifts, offering science and culture sessions, drawing and coloring segments, a unique photo booth, and more. The event was also joined by some of Kuwait’s renowned children’s theater actors like Dawood Hussain, Mohammed Al-Hemli, and Samah.
Registered as a non-profit, charitable organization by the Ministry of Social Affairs in 2003, KACCH continues its mission to offer programs and pediatric services providing psychosocial and emotional support for hospitalized children and their families in almost all government hospitals across Kuwait.
Bayt Abdullah Children’s Hospice (BACCH) is the first children’s hospice in the Middle East, giving children living in Kuwait the specialized care they need. BACCH works on ensuring the emphasis is placed on quality of life and the best day-to-day care possible, and providing children and their families with expert clinical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual support.
‘Sahabat Amal’ is an active Kuwaiti volunteer team that was formed by a number of local and regional medical students. The team’s members occasionally travel abroad to support underprivileged communities with medical and educational care.
