In line with the national strategy aimed at enhancing food security and combating hunger, and in consolidation of the developmental and community role of Jordan Islamic Bank and its active contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the bank implemented the “Passerby” initiative in cooperation with Tkiyet Um Ali and with the participation of a number of bank employees in providing hot meals with complete nutritional elements to about 300 people from families and individuals unable to secure their daily food needs, at the headquarters of Tkiyet Um Ali in Al-Mahatta area in Amman.
This initiative comes as part of the “Fifth Baraka Day” event, where Jordan Islamic Bank, on the eleventh of November of each year, participates with the Baraka Group and its banking units around the world and with the participation of its employees in implementing voluntary initiatives targeting one of the areas of sustainable development to serve local communities and meet their needs, and translating the commitment to social responsibility through activities that leave a positive impact. This year, the second goal of the Sustainable Development Goals was chosen, “Zero Hunger,” which aims to reduce food insecurity, support the less fortunate families and provide the basic food needs of the targeted groups.
On this occasion, Dr. Hussein Said, CEO of Jordan Islamic Bank, affirmed the bank’s commitment to continuing to implement initiatives that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, noting that the bank’s implementation of the “Passerby” initiative on “Al Baraka Day” embodies the bank’s commitment to its social responsibilities and its keenness to contribute to supporting national priorities in combating hunger, enhancing food security, and consolidating the values of social solidarity and mutual support.
He added that the bank attaches particular importance to directing its efforts and initiatives in line with its vision of supporting the comprehensive and sustainable development process in the Kingdom and enhancing its role as an active partner in serving the community.
