Zain has recently publicized its continued backing of the KON Social Entrepreneurship Program, which is now in its ninth edition. This persistent collaboration illustrates Zain’s commitment to enabling young individuals in Kuwait and creating an environment that fosters their entrepreneurial drive.
In partnership with LOYAC, a prominent non-profit organization, the KON program, in conjunction with Babson College, seeks to equip young individuals aged 12-16 with the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue entrepreneurship in the future. This deliberate initiative harmonizes perfectly with Zain’s pledge to invest in Kuwait’s youth and contribute to the advancement of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Zain’s involvement in the program’s commencement ceremony and orientation session at the American University of Kuwait demonstrated the company’s commitment to directly engage with the program’s participants and enrich their educational experience. The program encompasses interactive workshops, field trips, training, mentoring sessions, and more, providing students with a hands-on comprehension of business and entrepreneurship, while also deepening their understanding of social and environmental challenges.
Moreover, the program seeks to nurture a mindset that perceives challenges as opportunities and improves leadership, critical thinking, and communication skills, proving to be invaluable for students not only in their academic pursuits but also in various aspects of life.
Zain’s continuous support for the KON Social Entrepreneurship Program highlights the company’s acknowledgment of the substantial value it offers to Kuwait’s entrepreneurial community. The program continues to attract eager young individuals, affording them the chance to acquire new business skills, hone their talents, and pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations during their summer break.
The longstanding partnership between Zain and LOYAC has yielded numerous successful programs and initiatives over the past two decades, empowering thousands of Kuwaiti youth in various aspects of business and volunteering. This collaboration serves as a testament to the strength and resilience of the relationship between the private sector and non-profit organizations in nurturing youth empowerment in Kuwait.
Zain’s ongoing commitment to the KON Social Entrepreneurship Program underlines the company’s dedication to investing in Kuwait’s youth and contributing to the advancement of the country’s entrepreneurial landscape. As the program continues to empower young individuals and nurture their entrepreneurial spirit, Zain stands resolute in its support for the growth and innovation of Kuwait’s future leaders.
