The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has partnered with the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF) to sponsor ‘Watheq,’ a university preparatory programme taking place during the summer break. The initiative aims to equip high school graduates with the essential knowledge to excel in their university studies as well as ensure a successful and enjoyable university life both academically and socially.
Over 60 participants aged 16-18 benefited from the programme which ran throughout July 2024. The comprehensive curriculum featured interactive workshops, field trips, challenges, and real-life applications. These modules centred around personal development, motivation, foundational abilities, university major exploration, and career guidance.
A closing ceremony was held at the British University of Bahrain, where MKF General Secretary Shaikha Hala bint Mohamed bin Abdulla AlKhalifa and NBB’s Business Marketing & Partnerships Manager Mohamed Ali Alqassimi presented awards to the participants for their successful completion of the programme. MKF also expressed gratitude to NBB for its support in making the programme a success.
The Bank remains dedicated to partnering with prominent organisations like MKF on initiatives that nurture and enable the development of talented Bahraini youth.
