Additionally, on International Youth Day, Fatema Haider, Manager, Sustainability & Inclusivity at Zain Bahrain, said, “Young citizens of a country play a major role in its growth and development, hence it is our responsibility as corporates to contribute in inspiring and guiding them. Zain Bahrain is extremely proud of the initiatives undertaken by investing in the youth segment. Moreover witnessing the growth of each youth member who was or is currently enrolled was their primary goal. As the world marks International Youth Day, Zain celebrated the power of the Bahraini youth who represent our future leaders.”
