More than 200 of Al Baraka Group’s employees along with their families and friends touched the lives of thousands across three continents today.

On the occasion of Al Baraka Group’s 20-year anniversary, the Group shared its success with the less fortunate in the countries in which it operates by launching its first Al Baraka Day (ABD), a day in which all the Group and its subsidiaries’ employees, families and friends take part in service activities in their local communities.

ABG’s employees, families and friends used special branded Al Baraka Day caravans/buses to reach their destinations to volunteer in service projects.

These caravans/buses were used across all Al Baraka Group’s banking subsidiaries to highlight this important community day.

The service projects addressed a range of community needs under the UNSDG Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3).

Mr. Houssem Ben Haj Amor, CEO and Board Executive Member at Al Baraka Group commented: “Partnership is one of our core values and our mission is to fulfil the financial needs of communities across the globe using an approach that shares the mutual rewards with our partners in business success including our communities.

This day is an important one that we take great pride in as it shows our employees’ sincere commitment to the communities we serve across 3 continents”.

The 200 employees along with their families and friends impacted more than 2500 people through community projects that included the following under Well-Being: donating clothes, boots and blankets as well as providing meals and food baskets to less privileged families and individuals.

On the Health side, the teams donated insulin pumps to children and sports equipment to improve the physical activity and coordination for children with Autism and mental retardation.

Our subsidiaries also donated wheelchairs for the disabled, diabetes devices and generated funds to cover the costs for treating cancer patients and providing eyeglasses to children.
