In line with its social responsibility to the community in Kuwait, Wataniya as every year's 'Iftar Saem' program is hosting a daily Iftar for 500 fasting Muslims in Kuwait which sums up to 15,000 meals for the whole month for the poor and disadvantaged.
Wataniya will be providing 500 packages of deliciously prepared food at the Al Hawal Mosque located in the Industrial Shuwaikh area.
