About stc Bahrain

Everything's Going Forward!

Since entering Bahrain’s telecom market, stc Bahrain has become the market leader. stc Bahrain has also positively impacted the telecommunications market by changing the way it does business and has been at the forefront of innovation by launching the latest high-tech devices first, along with having introduced a comprehensive Wholesale and Enterprise portfolio with national and international services.

stc Community Programs

The company’s success can be attributed to the trust and support of the local community and in line with its mission to ‘Make a positive difference in the local community’ by promoting a knowledge based society and participating in community development programs’, stc Bahrain created Jusoor. This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme is dedicated to the development and execution of sustainable projects to benefit the local community by connecting people and facilitating a free exchange of experiences, ideas and information. For its work performed under VIVA Jusoor, VIVA Bahrain was awarded the Golden Order of Merit in the field of social responsibility in the Arab world for 2013 by the Arab Organization for Social Responsibility in conjunction with the Tatweej Academy for Excellence Awards in the Arab region.

In line with stc’s commitment to support the wider community, in early 2014 the company entered into a first of-its-kind partnership with the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) to work jointly in a community uplift program involving foreign workers. Through this partnership, stc is assisting the LMRA in easing foreign workers communication and support the government in its protection of overseas migrants’ rights and duties.

Earlier in 2015, we unveiled ‘Fereej VIVA’, its newest CSR initiative under ‘VIVA Jusoor’, with the first project being deployed in partnership with the Ministry of Housing. ‘Fereej VIVA’ was a sustainable community initiative that encompasses various social programmes. The first project introduced, includes furnishing housing units built by the Ministry of Housing with the aim of benefiting Bahraini women, including divorcees and widows.
