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.
