Under the patronage and in the presence of His Excellency the Governor of Ahmadi, Sheikh Humoud Al-Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, KOC hosted the launch ceremony of the sustainable Kuwaiti ship "Al-Boom," as part of the activities of the Sustainability Camp in its third season.
The ceremony was attended by the Head of Mission of UN Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) to GCC and Kuwait Dr. Amira Al-Hassan, along with Manager Public Relations & Information Group at KOC Mohammad Al-Basry, and TL Information Bedor Sayed Omar.
The scientific team Enviro, affiliated with the UN program, organized the event, which witnessed the launch and operation of the sustainable Kuwaiti ship "Al-Boom." The ship carries an educational and creative dimension, as its operation method was developed using a modern electrical system powered by energy generated from bicycles. This is a local innovation implemented by the mentioned team, aiming to highlight the potential of clean energy and the importance of environmental awareness among the new generation.
The project involved 125 children, including 20 with special needs, in an engaging activity that combined community integration, teamwork, and innovation, as they assembled and operated the ship themselves within a stimulating educational environment.
This initiative came as part of a series of activities and workshops aimed at promoting sustainability concepts and the circular economy among children, in line with the New Kuwait 2035 Vision as well as the Sustainable Development Goals.
The event saw a notable presence of representatives from official bodies, embassies, environmental organizations, public figures, as well as many parties interested in environmental and educational matters.
