As part of its ongoing efforts to promote community sustainability

As part of its ongoing efforts to promote community sustainability, and on the occasion of the new school year, Gulf Bank distributed 500 school bags containing all essential supplies to support children of underprivileged families in Kuwait. This initiative was carried out in collaboration with “Basta” company for the second year in a row, with active participation from the “Sawaaed AlKhaleej” team, a group of Gulf Bank employee volunteers.

On this occasion, Mrs. Najla Aleisa, Chief Marketing Officer at Gulf Bank, said:

“We are pleased to partner with the Basta team in this humanitarian initiative that aims to bring joy and happiness to students and their families, while leaving a positive impact that encourages them to continue their educational journey.”

Aleisa added that this initiative comes within Gulf Bank’s strong commitment to reinforcing community sustainability principles. The Bank is keen to engage in community events and contribute to spreading joy, especially among underprivileged families, throughout the year.

She continued: “For 65 years, Gulf Bank has been an integral part of Kuwait’s economic and social history and has never hesitated to dedicate its resources to support those in need. We are fully aware of the positive impact these initiatives leave on beneficiaries.”

She also emphasized the Gulf Bank’s commitment to continuing to support sustainability programs and initiatives at all levels, by launching carefully selected projects that provide mutual benefits for both the Bank and the community, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Kuwait Vision 2035.

She added: “As a national institution, Gulf Bank supports active civil society groups like the Basta volunteer team for their important social and humanitarian work. We believe the private sector plays a key role in driving community sustainability through meaningful charitable initiatives.”

Every year, Gulf Bank is keen to stand by students and parents at the start of the school season by offering exclusive discounts on a wide range of school supplies, in collaboration with leading retail stores across Kuwait. These special offers are available to holders of the Bank’s credit and prepaid cards, helping families better manage back-to-school expenses while enjoying greater value. Beyond seasonal promotions, Gulf Bank also provides a comprehensive suite of tailored banking services designed to meet the needs of students and their families. These include a variety of savings accounts that promote the culture of financial planning and responsible saving from an early age such as the ‘neo’ account, which is dedicated to children and encourages them to start building healthy financial habits for the future.
