The campaign was launched in the presence of Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa, Secretary-General of the National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD).

Abdulhakim Al Khayyat, Managing Director and CEO of KFH praised this national initiative, which aligns with the bank’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community partnerships.
