IOM and Ooredoo Kuwait Collaborate to Support Community Initiatives:

In November 2020, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – UN Migration Agency signed a 2-year agreement with the Ooredoo Telecommunication company in Kuwait to support community initiatives and facilitate community cohesion activities through the development of humanitarian, social and economic interventions. This collaboration allows Ooredoo customers to donate points to IOM through their Nojoom application, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

“IOM as an intergovernmental organization works closely with entities from different fields to tackle migration issues at a global, regional, and local levels. In Kuwait, we work with the government on technical subjects and with other partners to promote harmony between vulnerable foreign workers and the local community by organizing events and activities that inform, transform and promote inclusion, attracting a wide range of audiences.” Said Mr. Mazen AboulHosn, Chief of Mission-IOM Kuwait.

“We, at Ooredoo draw a bright line in every single humanitarian initiative we conduct, to maintain awareness of the importance of supporting communities, touching people's lives and enhancing the public wellbeing”. “Through our collaboration with the International Organization for Migration, we create a coherent framework and expand our contribution to the local community, supporting the notion of equality, human rights, and freedom of all migrants regardless of their migratory status” said Abdulaziz Al-Babtain, Chief Executive Officer-Ooredoo Kuwait.
