A series of youth-focused summer programmes for children have been launched by the AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF) as part of the Ithra initiative.
The programmes include Ithra Buds for children aged 10 to 12, Ithra Juniors for those aged 13 to 14, and Ithra Youth for participants aged 15 to 16.
Ithra Buds focuses on essential life skills delivered through playful and engaging learning journeys, while Ithra Youth is designed to cultivate advanced skill sets, promote experiential learning and equip participants with the tools they need to navigate the next stages of their academic and personal growth.
Meanwhile, Ithra Juniors provides foundational scientific knowledge and hands-on experiences that help students contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Sessions, led by qualified professionals, include practical workshops, field visits, thematic challenges, training camps, sports activities and creative arts.
MKF board of trustees chairperson Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa expressed pride in the continued evolution of the programme and highlighted the foundation’s mission to empower youth to explore their potential through meaningful and interactive experiences.
She affirmed that the programme reflected a deep-rooted belief in the capabilities of young people and reiterated MKF’s commitment to investing in the next generation by shaping engaged, confident and future-ready individuals.
