As part of its ongoing social and environmental responsibility strategy, Warba Bank has reaffirmed its partnership with the “Plant it for Free” initiative to distribute free moringa seedlings in several key locations in Kuwait throughout the month of May, reinforcing its commitment to promoting environmental awareness and encouraging a culture of greenery and sustainability in the Kuwaiti community.
The campaign, which received enthusiastic participation, involved distributing moringa seedlings to the first 200 customers at each of the bank’s branches in Shamiya, Egaila, Al-Shuhada, Jaber Al-Ali and Jahra. Additionally, seedlings were distributed at The Scientific Center of Kuwait during Earth Day and as part of an educational event open to the public.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Ayman Salem Al-Mutairi, Director of Public Relations and Corporate Communications at Warba Bank, said: "We are proud to continue this impactful initiative, which reflects our vision of supporting environmental and community-driven programs. Distributing moringa seedlings is not just about planting; it’s a meaningful message through which we promote environmental values and inspire our customers to contribute to nature conservation and climate resilience."
Al-Mutairi added that the continuation of the “Plant it for Free” initiative for a second year highlights its success since its launch last year. He emphasized Warba Bank’s ongoing efforts to expand the initiative across Kuwait to increase public awareness about the health and environmental benefits of the moringa tree, encouraging individuals to plant and utilize its many advantages.
He also underscored that Warba Bank’s strategic partnerships and agreements highlight its active role in serving the community, particularly in addressing environmental issues. As a leading institution, Warba is recognized for championing impactful community and environmental programs that support sustainable development.
