QNB Group has held various activities in collaboration with Qatar Autism Society to mark World Autism Awareness Day 2018, observed under the theme “Empowering Women and Girls with Autism.” 
World Autism Awareness Day is observed on the second day of April of each year, as suggested by Qatar and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. QNB’s head office was lit up in blue as part of its participation in the global campaign.
In addition, QNB extends its efforts to support autism patients, develop their skills and help them become a key component of the society by aiding the Governmental Health Communication Centre’s National Autism Strategy 2017-2012 in line with the aspirations of Qatar National Vision 2030, the company has said in a statement.
QNB set up a booth in Gulf Mall and handed out informative brochures about autism to the general public.
Besides, QNB staff participated in an autism puzzle, holding the slogan “Autism’s voice, it is time to listen”, to signify the lifelong nature of autism and its invisible characteristics, and also sending a strong message on the importance of the community coming together for support.
The statement added, “QNB’s keenness to contribute in supporting creative disabled talents in Qatar comes in line with its diverse range of corporate social responsibility initiatives and programmes launched with the aim of aligning them with Qatar National Vision 2030.”
