Over the past two decades, Bunts Bahrain has brought together the non-resident Bunt community and initiated several social welfare programs. The organization has played a vital role in addressing the concerns of the community, both in Bahrain and in their homeland.

The newly appointed executive committee has already laid out plans for several upcoming community-oriented programs. As Bunts Bahrain steps into its 22nd year, the hope is that it will continue its legacy of service and support for the Bunt community.
