Kuwait Finance House (KFH) has launched the biggest walking challenge in Kuwait in collaboration with its strategic partner, V-Thru application.

The challenge, which is organized by KFH for the third consecutive year, is part of (Increase Good Deeds in Ramadan) program, and an extension to its (Better Health…Better Life) campaign. The initiative is also part of KFH’s social responsibility and keenness to encourage youth and sport activities to disseminate awareness of the importance of exercise, namely walking which has gained significant momentum in Ramadan.

To reach out to many audiences, the competition is launched in two different locations: the Avenues Mall and Al Shaheed Park.

KFH organizes the virtual walking challenge daily throughout the holy month of Ramadan for the public before and after Iftar in collaboration with V-Thru application through V-FIT feature. The challenge allows participants to earn a balance of KD 1/- for 1 Km that may be used in purchase transactions from several Kuwaiti businesses from the application, or for contributing to the plantation and greening of Kuwait through (Keep It Green) campaign to achieve a sustainable environment.

During the previous editions of the walking challenge, participants contributed to planting thousands of trees in Abdali Reserve, as KFH plants a tree on behalf of the participant when they pass the challenge.

Ever since the launch of this initiative, KFH has contributed to planting thousands of trees and providing three years care, which is the average period required for the tree to be self-sufficient. Indeed, the contributions have a significant impact on the development and preservation of the environment and the raising of awareness on the importance of greening.

It is worth noting that the partnership with V-Thru is part of KFH’s social responsibility through which the Bank focuses on pioneering Kuwaiti youth experiences and supports SMEs and entrepreneurs, affirming KFH’s leadership in the field.
