Be Online’ campaign which featured an array of digital offers and services designed to support customers and to ensure they are well connected and informed during the Coronavirus outbreak in the country.

The company also gifted its customers in Ministries and Governmental Organizations which include the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Interior, Civil Defense, Kuwait Police, Kuwait Airways and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation free internet valid throughout the month of March in appreciation for their great efforts during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in the country.

The Kuwait Red Crescent Society is one of the leading Kuwaiti beacons in the field of humanitarian work, and it is noteworthy that this cooperation was not the first between Ooredoo Kuwait and the Kuwait Red Crescent Society. The collaboration was established based on their belief in the importance of collective work, solidarity, and cooperation in the face of crises and challenges through humanitarian work that support the society.
