Jordan Ahli Bank Sponsors Sixth Edition of Children’s Museum Reading Competition

As part of its corporate social responsibility efforts and longstanding commitment to supporting education and empowering future generations, Jordan Ahli Bank sponsored the sixth edition of the Reading Competition organized by the Children’s Museum. The initiative aims to encourage young individuals to develop a love of reading while strengthening their cognitive and language skills.

A total of 63 children participated, including the children of Jordan Ahli Bank employees and families of Museum members. Together, they read and summarized 372 books, totaling more than 23,000 pages. The books spanned a wide range of subjects, including history, religion, astronomy and geography, as well as literary works such as stories and novels, reflecting the participants’ curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.

The competition concluded with an awards ceremony attended by Jordan Ahli Bank representatives, who joined the organizers in honoring the winners across the competition’s three categories, which comprised students from Grades 2 to 7. Salma Ziad, Jouri Wreikat, and Leen Zakarneh secured first place in their respective categories, while second- and third-place winners across all categories were also recognized. In addition, a special award for “Best Interviewee” was presented in acknowledgement of one participant’s exceptional performance during the final interview stage.

Commenting on the initiative, CEO/General Manager of Jordan Ahli Bank, Dr. Ahmad Al-Hussein, stated, “Supporting a culture of reading and knowledge among our children is a true investment in the future of our nation. It emphasizes our active commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to the CSR values that Jordan Ahli Bank upholds and embodies. We’re proud to sponsor this competition, which encourages Jordanian children to expand their understanding and broaden their horizons, and we remain dedicated to championing initiatives that nurture future generations and inspire a lifelong passion for learning.”
