Wataniya Organized Blood Donation Campaign

n efforts to reinforce its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and as part of its ongoing commitment towards supporting the society, Wataniya Telecom has organized an internal blood donation campaign on March 18th, 2010 in cooperation with the Blood Bank in Kuwait.

Wataniya's blood donation campaign resulted in marvelous success that was beyond anyone's expectations! A large number of employees showed up at the location with excitement to donate expressing sincerity and dedication to the cause.
Due to the high number of interested Wataniya employees, the blood bank had to call in for more staff support to accommodate the unexpected large number of blood donors.

Wataniya believes in taking an integral role in the society as well as involving all its employees in promoting the welfare of their community. The campaign aims at saving lives for those who are in need for blood; especially those with a rare type of blood.

"Wataniya blood donation campaign is organized for our employees, but as a team our aim is to draw the attention to a good cause in which we  can save many individuals' lives and put an end to so many sufferings.", Stated Abdolaziz al-Balool, Wataniya Public Relations Manager. 

Al-Balool refers to Wataniya’s employees contribution saying that "Our employees exceeded our expectations and have responded with enthusiasm to the campaign and expressed their willingness to take part in donating blood for the benefit of those whom are in need for it."

Giving Blood is a noble gesture given out of community spirit and sense of duty. Donating blood saves lives and advocates community cohesiveness. Wataniya aspires to inspire other people among the community to donate blood at the blood bank and therefore increase the awareness in Kuwait on the lives that will be saved with blood donation.

The blood donation campaign took place at Wataniya's head quarter with a big contribution by many employees.
