Wataniya Supports Multiple Sclerosis Association

Wataniya Telecom has over the years supported and raised awareness for several key social causes for the welfare of our society, through its corporate social responsibility program. In keeping with this spirit Wataniya has joined hands with the Multiple Sclerosis Association to educate and create awareness about this neurological disease at a press conference on May 26th in Le Notre Restaurant.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that infects the nervous system and destroys the ability of the patient to control their impulses. Unfortunately very little is known about this illness and it is often misunderstood. The MS Association was founded in 2005 to create awareness and clarify misconceptions. However they did not receive sufficient patronage or exposure in the last few years. Wataniya is now taking the lead and it will not only support this noble cause but will give its customers a chance to participate and make donations to MS Association.

Wataniya will organize a special draw to create a buzz that will benefit MS Association and encourage Wataniya customers to participate. Customers who contribute to the campaign by sending an SMS to 1922 and donate KD 1 from their available balance will automatically enter a draw to win a royal number that is 60060000.

In the words of Scott Gegenheimer, GM & CEO of Wataniya “Unfortunately little is known about this disease and we want to create awareness and educate people about it. Adopting the MS awareness campaign reinstates Wataniya’s solid commitment towards the welfare of our society. We at Wataniya also want to lead by example so our employees, customers and members of the community will be inspired to contribute positively towards the betterment of our world.”

Let’s all come forward and make contributions that will help MS Association spread more awareness and will aid those inflicted by this heart wrenching illness.
