In a move reflecting the spirit of national solidarity and compassion, the Aqaba Water Company and the Aqaba Facilities Management Company launched a humanitarian campaign under the slogan “Blood Generosity” in the Great Arab Revolt Square, in cooperation with the Blood Bank Directorate at the Ministry of Health and several local companies in Aqaba, on the occasion of the national holidays. This initiative resulted in the collection and preparation of 99 units of blood for the Blood Bank, as part of the two companies’ ongoing efforts to support the needs of the local community and provide assistance to those who require blood transfusions on an ongoing basis, affirming the values of national solidarity and unity behind the Hashemite leadership.
The campaign, which was supported by several companies, aimed to instill a culture of voluntary blood donation as part of the companies' corporate social responsibility towards the local community. The event witnessed a large turnout from employees of both companies and citizens present in the Great Arab Revolt Square, reflecting the community awareness and initiative of the participants.
