The company was keen on contributing to making this event a success to celebrate the capabilities of people with special needs and empower them within the society.

 

Zain dedicates a great part of its Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility strategy towards people with special needs, including its support to the annual RunKuwait charity marathon organized by Fawzia Sultan Healthcare Network (FSHN) aimed at supporting children with special needs in Kuwait. The company is also the strategic partner of the annual Ideal Mother Award organized by Al Kharafi Activity Kids Center aimed at shedding light on the distinguished efforts of mothers of children with mental disabilities.
