MANAMA: Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of HM the King and President of the Supreme Council for Women (SCW), patronises on Tuesday a ceremony to distribute the Princess Sabeeka Award for Productive Families 2014, to be organised by the Ministry of Social Development at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre.
The Kingdom of Bahrain is the first Arab country to present the award, which was launched in 2007 to optimise support for productive families and transform low-income families into active productive ones, thus contributing to the development of the economy.
The award is granted in three categories, namely the Best Productive Family, the Best Product Award and the Best Sponsor of Productive Families.
A jury comprising technical, academic and social experts was formed to evaluate the projects.
