Z
ain, the leading telecommunications
company in Kuwait, has announced
it is to partner with the country’s Ministry
of Interior to support its latest traffic
awareness campaign.
This extends throughout the new school
year and is organised by MOI’s General
Department of Public Relations and
Media Security.
Zain participated in the opening
ceremony of the campaign’s awareness
exhibition at the Avenues Mall, which saw
the attendance of Zain officials and the
ministry’s representatives.
Zain’s strategic partnership of this
awareness campaign comes as part of
its corporate sustainability and social
responsibility strategy that aims at
serving the community.
Zain’s support to this campaign will
extend throughout the new school year
of 2018–19. The campaign aims at
spreading positive awareness about traffic
safety among students of all age groups,
ranging from kindergarten to college, with
the goal of enriching traffic safety values
within them from an early age.
The campaign’s exhibition includes
a Virtual Reality section to showcase
the dangerous consequences of using
mobile phones while driving, where
visitors can simulate a lifelike situation
of a driver using their mobile phone
while driving and experience the results
of this behaviour.
The campaign’s programme will also
include a number of visits to schools
and universities to spread traffic safety
awareness among students. n
