Khaleeji Bank hosts “Lame’a” Program Juniors in a Field Visit
Khaleeji Bank, one of the leading Islamic Banks in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has collaborated with “Lame’a” to organise an interactive field visit attended by 10 children aged between 12 and 14 years old from the “Lame’a” Junior Program, who are participating in the Youth City 2030 event. During the visit, participants were introduced to the various areas of the bank’s operations, its departments, and the range of banking services it offers. Additionally, a tour was organised to Khaleeji’s branch in Bahrain Financial Harbour.
The visit reflects Khaleeji’s unwavering commitment to supporting the youth of the future by engaging them in various initiatives tailored to introduce them to the banking sector and encourage them to join it. This activity stems from the bank’s recognition of the significance of investing in the youth, viewing them as the cornerstone of sustainable development and the driving force behind progress in society. They are seen as essential to the transition towards a knowledge-based economy, the realisation of national visions, and the foundation of a better tomorrow. Additionally, Khaleeji is dedicated to providing the necessary support and empowerment to enhance the capabilities of young individuals and unlock their potential through specialised programs and initiatives aimed at skill development, creativity, and active contribution to their communities and nations.
The “Lame’a” initiative is one of the projects patronised by His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs. This Program seeks to cultivate promising youth leaders and establish a robust foundation of competencies equipped with integrated national awareness, qualifying them to excel in various roles and disciplines. It has been developed through innovative methods designed to nurture national youth leaders who exhibit ambition and extraordinary capabilities, challenging them to explore their potential through national youth projects.
Commenting on the occasion, Ms. Fatima Ahmed Al Bin Ali, Head of Human Resources at Khaleeji Bank, said “We take pride in collaborating with ‘Lame’a’ to implement this field visit, which provided participants with the opportunity to closely learn about the various aspects of the bank’s operations. There was exceptional engagement from the participating children, who were enthusiastic about learning the different roles within Khaleej and how it operates. These initiatives are part of our ongoing commitment to harnessing the energies and talents of young individuals, and we are confident that they will emerge as leaders across a wide variety of fields, playing pivotal roles in fostering a brighter future for our communities.”
