As part of its commitment to social responsibility and in celebration of its 30th anniversary, Capital Bank supported the ‘Draw a Smile’ initiative, organized by the Haya Cultural Center during Ramadan. Through this initiative, the bank hosted 100 children from SOS Children’s Villages Jordan in Amman and Irbid, embracing the spirit of generosity and social solidarity during the holy month.

Capital Bank is dedicated to organizing charitable initiatives during Ramadan to promote the values of compassion and community support. The Iftar event saw enthusiastic participation from the bank’s employees, who volunteered to create a meaningful Ramadan experience for the children through engaging educational and recreational activities, filling the evening with joy and celebration.

Our support for the ‘Draw a Smile’ initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on the community, especially during this blessed month.

Areej Al-Khateeb, Fund Development and Communications Director at SOS Children’s Villages Jordan, added, “This partnership highlights the power of corporate social responsibility in making a lasting impact. We deeply appreciate Capital Bank’s commitment to the community and its support for initiatives like ‘Draw a Smile’, which bring happiness and positivity to the children in our care. Collaborations like this play a vital role in strengthening social bonds and ensuring a brighter future for the next generations.”

Hosted at the Haya Cultural Center, the event featured a variety of creative and educational activities, including a presentation on the phases of the moon at the planetarium, an interactive Ramadan-themed play, traditional performances such as the Musaharati, fun games, and gift distribution. The children also enjoyed a delicious and nutritious Iftar meal prepared by local women, supporting their small businesses.
