ABK – Egypt illuminates its headquarters in pink in celebration of world breast cancer awareness month

In continuation of the fruitful collaboration between Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait - Egypt (ABK-Egypt), and Baheya Foundation in support of female cancer patients, the Bank recently illuminated its headquarters building in Smart Village in pink in celebration of world breast cancer awareness month.

ABK-Egypt has always been keen on launching community initiatives that support the empowerment of Egyptian women who are considered the backbone of their families and the society.

Earlier this month, ABK-Egypt also organized a medical seminar for female employees in the presence of representatives from Baheya Foundation as part of its diligent efforts to raise awareness on this very critical cause and foster a culture of Corporate Social Responsibility among its employees. The seminar was held in ABK-Egypt’s Head Office and discussed the importance of early breast cancer detection and prevention methods, which contribute to increasing recovery rates to over 98%.

It is worth mentioning that the Bank continues to support all efforts extended by the Egyptian government and the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) in achieving the goals of Egypt's Vision 2030, which include empowering Egyptian women socially and economically in addition to improving healthcare services to allow them to positively contribute to social development.

ABK-Egypt will continue on its path towards supporting all sectors of society through launching social initiatives across Egypt's Governorates in partnership with specialized non-profit organizations. These initiatives aim forproviding aid to the underprivileged with education, medical care services, food supplies, clothing, shelter, and small projects to help youth, children, women, individuals with disabilities, and the financially incapable.
