As part of its ongoing dedication to social responsibility and government-led initiatives, Kuwait Finance House (KFH) took part in the "A Nation Protects You" national campaign. The initiative aims to protect young people and raise awareness about the dangers of drugs and their negative impact on individuals, families, and society.
The campaign was launched at The Avenues Mall in the presence of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Al-Sabah; the Minister of Social Affairs, Family, and Childhood Affairs, Dr. Amthal Al-Huwailah; the Minister of Justice, Nasser Yousef Mohammed Al-Sumait; the Minister of Health, Dr. Ahmed Abdel Wahab Ahmed Al-Awady; and KFH Chairman, Hamad Abdulmohsen Al Marzouq.
The ministers commended KFH for its role in supporting the campaign, praising its diverse social contributions and strong commitment to community initiatives.
KFH Chairman, Hamad Abdulmohsen Al Marzouq emphasized the bank’s ongoing commitment to supporting national initiatives that protect society and make a lasting, positive impact. He noted that this aligns with KFH’s mission, core values, and its role as a model private-sector institution. Highlighting the "A Nation Protects You" campaign, Al Marzouq praised it as a prime example of effective institutional teamwork in tackling the drug epidemic and addressing its security, health, and social fallout.
Al Marzouq noted that KFH has a long history of driving impactful community initiatives, particularly in tackling critical social issues like substance abuse. Last year, the bank helped inaugurate the tenth ward of the Addiction Treatment Center, marking another milestone in its ongoing mission to build a dedicated addiction recovery hospital. This project is already delivering tangible results, helping combat addiction and build a stronger, more resilient Kuwaiti community.
According to Al Marzouq, KFH’s CSR strategy is rooted in the belief that nation-building starts with protecting its people. Furthermore, building community awareness is the first line of defense against challenges to society's stability, security, and future.
