In an initiative aimed at significantly contributing to the development of sports and enhancing the position of Bahrain in the international sporting arena, Kuwait Finance House (KFH)–Bahrain announced its commitment to sponsoring the Bahrain Shooting & Fencing Association’s summer programme.
The announcement was made at a special function attended by Abdul Razak Jawahery, executive manager at KFH–Bahrain, and Shaikh Ebrahim bin Salman Al Khalifa from the Bahrain Shooting & Fencing Association.
The function was attended by senior officials from both sides.
Mr Jawahery presented a cheque to the Bahrain Shooting & Fencing Association.
Commenting on the occasion, Shaikh Ebrahim: “I am pleased to extend my gratitude to KFH–Bahrain for their support. This initiative will play a key role in supporting the Bahrain Shooting & Fencing Association in its aspiration of positioning the kingdom at the highest level of the sport.”
A KFH–Bahrain spokesman said: “The Middle East possesses a large youth population and this initiative is a natural extension of KFH-Bahrain’s programme to actively support sport in the kingdom at all levels.
“It is our endeavour at KFH – Bahrain, as a successful and socially responsible business entity, to provide Bahraini youth with the opportunity to optimally develop their skills and successfully compete at the highest level in the global sporting arena”.
Since establishing in Bahrain in October 2002, as the first fully-owned subsidiary of KFH–Kuwait, KFH – Bahrain has led the financial industry in initiatives to support the social infrastructure of Bahrain.
In particular the bank has been a strong advocate for the youth of Bahrain in terms of enhancing opportunities through support of various educational and sporting programmes. Sports such as table tennis, golf, road running and endurance horse racing are among the various sports KFH-Bahrain continue to support in the kingdom.
