Batelco Ramadan Baskets Distributed to Bahrain’s Charities
30,000 Gift Baskets as part of Batelco’s Annual Ramadan Contribution
Batelco has distributed 30,000 Ramadan Baskets to the Kingdoms’ charitable societies as part of its annual donations programme. The Charities have begun to distribute the baskets to needy families across the Kingdom as preparation are being finalised for the Holy Month of Ramadan. To support the major distribution drive, a number of Batelco’s employees volunteered to assist with packing and delivery of the baskets.
Each basket weighs about 10 kg and includes essential foodstuffs that are traditionally in high demand during the Holy Month. They will be delivered to families who have been identified by the charities as needing extra support during the holy month.
“The baskets have been distributed to the societies for onward delivery to those most in need in their communities,” said Batelco Bahrain CEO Eng. Muna Al Hashemi.
“We are delighted each year to make this contribution to the Bahraini community. It is without doubt a very worthwhile initiative that is highly appreciated by the charitable societies and needy families,” added Eng. Al Hashemi.
Batelco Corporate Affairs Senior Manager Osama Alsaad said that it was fantastic to get support from Batelco’s staff who volunteered to help with the packing and distribution of the baskets.
“The holy month is all about giving back to the community so having Batelco’s staff involved in the effort added an extra special touch to the Company’s charitable initiative,” he added.
