KIB employees come together to support annual blood drive in partnership with Kuwait Central Blood Bank

Kuwait International Bank (KIB) concluded its annual blood donation campaign, launched in partnership with the Kuwait Central Blood Bank. Held under the meaningful slogan “Every Donation Saves Lives,” the campaign was hosted at the Bank’s headquarters and drew wide participation from employees who volunteered to donate blood in support of national healthcare efforts and humanitarian causes. This campaign aligns with KIB’s long-standing commitment to corporate social responsibility and its integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework.
Emphasizing the significance of the campaign, Abdullah Al Khamees, Assistant Manager - Marketing Department and Corporate Communications Unit at KIB, said: “At KIB, we believe that the true strength of a corporate institution lies in its ability to give back to the community. Our commitment to the annual blood donation campaign is a reflection of this belief, and we are proud of the strong participation and dedicated support of our employees, driven by purpose and compassion. Their contribution goes far beyond the act of donating blood; it’s an affirmation of our collective responsibility to support those in urgent medical need.”
He added: “The campaign also seeks to assist the Central Blood Bank in carrying out its essential mission of maintaining adequate blood reserves to meet the continuous demands of hospitals and healthcare facilities. Moreover, donating blood promotes better blood circulation and can help reduce the risk of certain health conditions. We view it as a key step toward encouraging a healthier lifestyle and enhancing the overall well-being of participants.”
Al Khamees highlighted that “KIB deeply values its partnership with the Kuwait Central Blood Bank, whose dedication have helped make this campaign impactful year after year. As we look ahead, we remain committed to embedding sustainability and social purpose into everything we do, from banking operations to various community outreach activations.”
It is worth noting that KIB remains dedicated to launching and supporting impactful community initiatives that address the needs of society. In line with this commitment, the Bank continues to play an active role in promoting health awareness, well-being, and humanitarian values. Through these efforts, KIB reaffirms its pledge to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of individuals and the wider community as a true ‘Bank for Life’.
