Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain – November 2026 

In a major step to build lasting ties and share common goals, Basma Foundation for Social Development, represented by the Vice President of the Executive Board, Mr. Adnane Elayadi, took part in the Kaaf Volunteering Conference (KAVO 2026) in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The visit ended with the signing of an official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kaaf Humanitarian in Bahrain. This agreement starts a new phase of teamwork focused on sharing knowledge and creating a bigger impact in our communities. 

This participation follows a kind invitation from Kaaf Humanitarian. It builds on a strong history of field partnership between both groups, seen in our joint relief and development programs supporting families affected by the Al Haouz earthquake in Morocco, alongside other lasting projects. 

Working Together for Lasting Impact 

During the signing ceremony and conference sessions, Mr. Adnane Elayadi stressed that building strong partnerships between civil society groups and development organizations—both locally and globally—is no longer a choice. It is a must to solve today’s complex social problems. 

Sharing roles, resources, and skills among social sector groups is the key to building strong projects with clear results. Through global networking, small individual efforts grow into a unified system that makes our work last. This helps people move from needing temporary aid to earning their own income and relying on themselves, which protects human dignity and builds stable communities. 

A Smart, Knowledge-Based Approach to Volunteering 

Our vision during this global event matched the main ideas of KAVO 2026, which focused on turning volunteering from a simple act of charity into organized, professional work backed by real data and studies. The sessions looked at ways to build leadership skills for volunteers and connect their work with social businesses and project hubs. This ensures that the energy of youth and civil groups is used to create real, lasting change. 

Looking Ahead to Future Teamwork 

The MoU signed between Basma Foundation for Social Development and Kaaf Humanitarian opens new doors for joint projects in rural development, clean drinking water, and income-generating programs. The agreement also sets up a permanent way to share field lessons, good management habits, and clear rules, strengthening both groups as leading examples of joint Arab development work. 

At the end of the event, we shared our deep thanks and appreciation to Kaaf Humanitarian in the Kingdom of Bahrain for their warm welcome and great organization. We also renewed our promise to keep building bridges of teamwork with all local and global partners to serve humanity and support lasting development
