As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting national initiatives that promote public health and encourage active lifestyles, Warba Bank announced its principal sponsorship of the “Wellness at the Heart of the Capital” initiative, held at Assima Mall from July 14 to 16, 2025. The initiative was organized under the patronage of His Excellency the Governor of the Capital, Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah, in collaboration with the Capital Governorate, the Public Authority for Youth, and several public and private sector entities.
The initiative served as a national community event aimed at raising awareness of the importance of walking and physical activity. It encouraged the public to adopt healthier lifestyles through an open challenge in which participants’ steps were recorded via smart applications. At the end of the initiative, participants with the highest number of steps, including individuals participating in the people with special needs category, were honored with awards.
The initiative kicked off at 5 PM on July 14 and ran for three consecutive days. Participants registered at the dedicated booth of the Capital Governorate and the Public Authority for Youth at Assima Mall. The event concluded with an award ceremony led by His Excellency Governor Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah, where the top ten participants and top participants in the people with special needs category were recognized.
Ayman Salem Al-Mutairi, Director Marketing and Corporate Communications at Warba Bank, stated: “We are proud to collaborate with the Capital Governorate and support this meaningful national initiative that highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in promoting a healthy society and an active lifestyle. Our participation stems from our belief that the banking sector has a vital role in supporting nationwide efforts to foster community health and wellness.”
He added: “Public health is a long-term investment in people and in society; an investment that reflects our vision and our slogan: ‘Let’s Own Tomorrow.’ That’s why we are committed to sponsoring events focused on health, fitness, and wellbeing, and we aim to always be an active partner in initiatives that serve Kuwait and its people.”
Major Turki Al-Baidan, Director of Public Relations and Citizen Services at the Capital Governorate, commented: “We are pleased to take part in the ‘Wellness at the Heart of the Capital’ initiative at Assima Mall, which ran until Wednesday, July 16, 2025, under the patronage of His Excellency the Governor Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah.”
Al-Baidan emphasized that this initiative falls within the Governorate’s broader efforts to promote public health and community sports by encouraging individuals and families to walk in a safe and suitable environment, such as shopping malls. He also noted the collaboration with various official and volunteer entities to deliver educational, physical, and interactive activities throughout the initiative.
He extended his gratitude to all citizens and residents who participated in this impactful community initiative, which positively contributed to both physical and mental well-being and reinforced values of social responsibility and health awareness.
This initiative serves as a model for strategic cooperation between the public and private sectors. The Capital Governorate joined forces with Warba Bank and several other stakeholders to implement this national event.
Warba Bank’s sponsorship of this initiative is part of a broader series of community-focused efforts that the Bank actively supports, aligning with its CSR strategy and reaffirming its commitment to a healthier, more sustainable future under the banner “Let’s Own Tomorrow.”
