Commenting, Mr. Hussain Al Hussaini, said, “We are proud of NBB’s ongoing cooperation and engagement with UCO Parents Care Centre and its tremendous contributions to social care in Bahrain. The Centre’s efforts are aligned with NBB’s own focus on getting closer to our community and supporting initiatives that help to enhance health, education and the general welfare of the population across all segments of society. Our donation reflects the importance of the work being done by the Centre to support families in Bahrain and aims to help in the expansion of the services it provides in order to meet the needs of an even greater number of families and elderly beneficiaries.”
On behalf of Board of Directors and members of the Centre, Mrs. Shams expressed deep appreciation to the NBB Board of Directors and Mr. Durand for the Bank’s continued support, noting the important role that NBB, and the private sector more broadly, plays in ensuring that the Centre is well equipped and has the resources required to provide high quality care to Bahrain’s elderly.
