The partnership aims to support a number of impactful initiatives led by Lei Wa Lakom, foremost among them the Financial Education Program, which includes engaging workshops and a digital interactive tool that promotes continuous learning. The program is also developing a national Financial Literacy Index, supported by academic partners including the London School of Economics.
In addition, the partnership supports knowledge-based and cultural initiatives such as the Sidra platform, which spotlights intellectual leadership in the Gulf region, and an innovative animated awareness series to be broadcast on Kuwait TV and digital platforms to raise awareness about financial literacy among a wider audience.
As part of Zain’s commitment to supporting education beyond borders, the partnership also includes the Zanzibar Library Project, through which Lei Wa Lakom is establishing a library and cultural center in the heart of Zanzibar. The project will serve more than 200 families and includes a comprehensive library, a Holy Quran recitation center, and a water well, creating an integrated educational and spiritual environment that enhances quality of life and provides the tools for knowledge and growth.
This partnership falls within Zain’s broader commitment to social responsibility, with a focus on youth empowerment, education, and inclusive development, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Kuwait’s New Vision to invest in human capital.
