AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF) has launched ‘Ithra Buds,’ a targeted training programme designed to instil essential personal skills and life skills among children aged 10-12 years focusing on foundational skills. Commencing from the second half of January, the programme will be supervised by specialised trainers who will provide coaching on key areas such as self-discovery and development. Incorporating various workshops, field trips, challenges, camps, sports days, arts and crafts, and project-based activities into the curriculum, the programme aims to deliver a fun-filled, engaging, and inspiring experience to over 30 participants.
‘Ithra Buds’ was launched after a thorough study of the applicants’ particular needs. The programme will span two seasons each year with the first organised during the spring break while the other being offered in the summer holidays. Graduates of ‘Ithra Buds’ will have the opportunity to join the Foundation’s ‘Ithra Seniors’ programme which caters to those aged 13 to 14, and later progress to ‘Ithra Youth’ for ages 15 to 16.
On this occasion, Her Highness Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation, expressed the Foundation’s pride in launching the ‘Ithra Buds’ programme. She highlighted that it is part of the MKF’s impactful youth development programmes representing an enduring commitment towards building social and cultural awareness among young people by upskilling them in leadership, community engagement, life planning, confidence building, initiative, responsibility, and patriotism. Her Highness emphasised these projects are deeply rooted in the belief in the tremendous potential of Bahraini youth and driven by a clear vision to nurture a generation that is well-equipped to lead and contribute positively to the society.”
