Ooredoo companies have celebrated the spirit of Ramadan across their regional footprint this month, with a series of special initiatives. The activities have been designed to encourage people to appreciate life, spend time with loved ones, and help people in need during the Holy Month, and have been supported by a high proportion of employees who volunteered their time.
Dr.NasserMarafih, CEO, Ooredoo Group, said: “Seeing the Ooredoo companies come together to celebrate the Holy Month is a proud moment for us all. Ramadan is a time to appreciate and give back to the community, and we want to show our customers that we care and connect during this special time.”
For example, in Qatar, Ooredoo is engaging with the community via a host of activities such as hospital visits, Iftar with the elderly, and donations towards several charities. To bring the spirit of the Holy Month to life, Ooredoo Qatar’s popular Alrabaa, a group of seven mascots who embody the traditions of the country, are making appearances at events across the country as part of the Ramadan #SharingOurBest campaign.
In Kuwait, Ooredoo has set-up a tent for donating daily Iftar meals for workers, as well as hosting a number of visits to care centres and hospitals across the country to distribute gifts. Similar initiatives have been taken all across the region.
Dr.NasserMarafih concludes: “Across our footprint, with companies that serve more than 111 million customers, it is heartening to see such a strong willingness by Ooredoo employees to volunteer and donate time and effort to worthy causes. Ooredoo truly cares about our communities, and that spirit is clearly demonstrated during the Holy Month.”
In addition to a strong focus on good works and charitable initiatives, Ooredoo companies have also launched more than 100 different types of religious mobile content services during the Holy Month, recognising the power of mobile technology to touch people’s lives.
