Manama, Jan. 22 (BNA): The National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) announced that it has received support from the Travco Group for the Forever Green campaign.
Support by planting 80 shrubs on an area of 120 square meters by the Bahrain Cleaning Company next to Al-Ghous Corniche in Muharraq is within the second phase of the project.
Travcos contribution enhances the role of the private sector in advancing Bahrain’s environmental goals, national priorities, promoting environmental awareness among people and civil society and expanding green spaces in Bahrain.
Within the framework of this initiative, all components of society work together to achieve the aspirations of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, wife of His Majesty the King and Chair of the Nayed Advisory Council to promote agriculture and promote social responsibility to achieve sustainable development in the Kingdom.
