In line with the spirit of the Holy Month and its values of solidarity and togetherness, Barwa Bank, Qatar’s most progressive Shari’ah-compliant services provider, has organized an Iftar event for the residents at the Qatar Foundation for Elderly People Care (Ihsan), as part of its #My_Ramadan_Moments campaign.

 

In the framework of its Ramadan Campaign this year, the Bank held this open-handed initiative as a celebration of the Holy Month’s noble human values and culture of charity.

 

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Talal Al-Khaja, Chief Communications Officer at Barwa Bank, said:

“Since its inception, Barwa Bank Group has always put people and the community affairs first in everything it does. That is why our staff was honored to be a reason behind the smile that we were able to draw on our elders’ faces. Over the long course of their lives, senior citizens were the first to extend a helping hand to their community, as they have spared no effort to build the nation and create a promising future for the new generation. Celebrating Ramadan with them while enjoying iftar together is the least that we can do at Barwa Bank, to express our thanks and gratitude. It is a token of gratitude and appreciation to the community that we serve, as well as a practical demonstration of the value of giving and solidarity, as a beacon that lights the way for Qatar’s younger generations.”

Barwa Bank staff’s visit to the residents at Ihsan comes as a part of the Bank’s corporate social responsibility, a core element of the Barwa Bank brand. Anchored by its mission and values, the Bank is determined to contribute to developing a dignified environment for all to live and work in.

Mr. Khalid Abdullah Al Hussein, Director of Media and Public Relations at Ihsan, welcomed Barwa Bank’s Iftar initiative with the elders, and stressed that the bank's interaction with the elderly supports and reinforces Insan’s goals of empowering the elders in their communication with all segments of society and their integration within the community, as one of its key constituents. He also noted that the bank’s visit instilled joy in their hearts and reflected positively on their health. Mr. Khalid Abdulla expressed his delight for the mutual and fruitful cooperation between Barwa Bank and Inhsan Centre, wishing for its continuance in the future and its development to better serve the two parties’ shared interests and pour into the elders’ welfare, empowerment and attainment of a dignified life.
