As an important facet of QIB's CSR initiatives, the patronage of Red Crescent has been an annual occurrence for four years marked by progressive yearly donations as QIB's standing and development in the local, regional and international markets has grown.
QIB CEO, Mr. Salah Jaidah, said of QIB's commitment to social causes:
"QIB chooses to play a very enthusiastic supporting role in the communities in which we live and do business. We believe it is our responsibility to contribute to educational, community, cultural and health causes, as these activities and programs benefit society as a whole and at the same time are part of the foundation upon which our Islamic institution is built."
QIB considers itself a partner to society and, therefore, enhances its CSR program each year, as it seeks to adhere to the fundamental responsibilities it embraces as an Islamic establishment. Each year, QIB takes an active role in assisting those requiring financial assistance and disburses alms through its Zakat Committee.
Mr. Amer Al Jabry, QIB Executive Manager, Retail Banking, said of QIB's donation, "QIB is proud to partner with Qatar Red Crescent as both entities are dedicated to developing and encouraging humanitarian and charitable activities. This culture of giving is essential to QIB's commitment to social responsibility. Red Crescent is especially dedicated to providing medical and health services to pilgrims and we believe this is a vital service to maintain the pilgrims comfort and safety while performing the pilgrimage duties."
Commenting on QIB's contribution, Mr. Mohamed Jaidah, the member of medical affairs committee in QRC, said: "One of Qatar Red Crescent's main objectives is to provide medical aid and health services for pilgrims. This donation on behalf of QIB will enable our organization to raise our level of service and to increase the level of safety for pilgrims attending Haaj. This QIB and Qatar Red Crescent partnership fosters cooperation within the community and raises the level of public awareness of the work Qatar Red Crescent performs regarding humanitarian efforts."
On behalf of QIB, Mr Amer Al jabry handed the donation cheque to Mr. Mohamed Jaidah, in the presence of Mr. Saeed Al Khayareen, QIB governmental financing manager and Dr. Khaled Agha, the head of medical services in QRC.
