Kuwait, 26 March 2025: KIB Invest, the investment arm of Kuwait International Bank (KIB), launched an initiative aimed at bringing joy to children in hospitals during the Holy Month of Ramadan. KIB Invest distributed toys to young patients across various hospitals, at the headquarters of Bayt Abdullah Children’s Hospice (BACCH) and the Kuwait Association for the Care of Children in Hospital (KACCH). This initiative comes as part of KIB’s continuous dedication to corporate social responsibility, especially initiatives that serve young children.

From his side, KIB Invest CEO Jamal Hamad Al Barrak, stated: “Our Ramadan toy donation initiative is more than just a charitable act—it is a reflection of our values and our role in making a meaningful impact. Partnering with BACCH and KACCH allows us to extend our support where it is needed most, ensuring that children spending the Holy Month of Ramadan in hospitals feel the warmth and spirit of this blessed time. We remain dedicated to initiatives that uplift our community and foster a culture of care.”

Emphasizing KIB Invest’s core values, Head of Investor Relations, and Marketing Rakan Al Ahmad, said: “At KIB Invest, we strongly value meaningful engagement with our community beyond financial services, and this initiative reflects that commitment. Spreading joy and comfort to children during Ramadan is not just an act of kindness but a responsibility we take to heart. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in these children’s lives and look forward to continuing similar initiatives in the future. Through meaningful partnerships and impactful initiatives, we look forward to continuing our efforts to make a difference.”

In her turn, Dr. Tala Al Dabbous, CEO and Director of Clinical Services of BACCH and KACCH stated that 'Play is a fundamental part of every child’s life—a universal language that transcends barriers and brings comfort, especially to those facing illness and critical health challenges. It fosters a sense of normalcy, allowing children to express themselves, navigate the unfamiliar, and experience moments of joy. We are profoundly grateful to KIB Invest for their generous toy donation. Toys serve as essential tools used daily by our child life specialists and play leaders across our nine child life programs in Kuwait to support hospitalized children. Your kindness and dedication to our patients’ emotional well-being will leave a lasting impact. We sincerely appreciate your support, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.”

The initiative aimed to bring comfort and joy to children in the heartwarming event that allowed the KIB Invest team to personally engage with the children, offering them moments of joy and distraction from their medical challenges. A memorable experience highlighted the shared smiles and happiness between KIB Invest staff, hospital representatives, and the young recipients.

KIB Invest remains committed to making a meaningful difference in society through initiatives that promote kindness, inclusion, and support. By prioritizing the well-being of children in hospitals, KIB Invest continues to strengthen its role as a socially responsible corporate entity dedicated to giving back to the community.
