Zain Bahrain Participates in the “Stand Up Take Action” Campaign Against Poverty and Inequality

With its strong social commitment to local communities in all the countries that it is present in and its core belief that its work should transform lives and productivity, Zain Bahrain is in a very special position to support the Millennium Campaign to eradicate poverty and inequality which the UN has undertaken. By standing up against poverty and inequality as part of a global movement, explained Zain Bahrain's Corporate Communications Manager Samya Hussain. "As a Group and as Zain Bahrain, we believe strongly in these goals and the idea of standing up and making our presence felt is to lend support to the campaign," Samya said, "Even more important, every participant from Zain Bahrain felt that the action forced each one of us to acknowledge the need to reach out to the less privileged and show our support." Zain employees took part in the STAND UP TAKE ACTION initiative and gathered in front of the Zain office building in Seef. The photograph of the group will be posted on the campaign website as evidence of the company's involvement, adding to the support of millions of people around the world for these vital goals. "Zain Bahrain actively works at the local level for similar goals – our technological innovations help to create better quality of life and spur local business and development; our CSR initiatives are built around supporting NGOs who work with the disadvantaged sections of society, with the disabled and for educational and healthy lifestyle initiatives that will help to create a foundation upon which a prosperous Bahraini society can be created," commented Zain Bahrain's General Manager Mohammed Zain.
