Bader Al-Kharafi welcomes you to this inaugural issue of
D&I, which showcases Zain’s dedication to this important
field through its initiatives
WE 3
Established in 2017, Zain Group’s gender diversity and
inclusion program initially launched under the name
Women Empowerment. This was later modified to WE,
broadening its inclusion credentials, and shifting the focus
to gender equality rather than just women empowerment
WE ABLE 8
At Zain, diversity and inclusion are a priority as we believe
that together we are stronger. WE ABLE, a disability inclusion
initiative, was launched in July 2019, with the aim of making
Zain disability inclusive by 2022 across all its operations
ZY 13
With millennials projected to constitute 75% of the global
workforce by 2025, it has become essential to look to the
youth and nurture their employment prospects. Hence,
Zain Youth (ZY) was created in 2018, to encompass
different programs to enhance the skills of young people
ZAINIAC 19
Launched in 2017, the vision of ZAINIAC is to empower Zain
employees, fondly referred to as Zainers, by giving them a
platform to share and develop their creative digital ideas
