Our company in Kuwait joined Movember in support of The Prostate Cancer Charity in the UK. This is to raise awareness by prompting private and public conversations regarding prostate cancer, a men’s health issue that is often ignored and taken for granted. For the whole month of November, a selected few in our office grew moustache and via donations, we managed to raise an amount to support the society.

I didn’t join but during the awarding ceremony last end November, we donned our faces with full beard and moustache to add excitement to the event.


The bearded ladies and a gentleman. That's Anna (from Poland) and Niña (from the Philippines) with Rao (from India). Rao's moustache is real.


Bearded moi. That's me in fake beard and Shaikh (from India) with his real moustache.

We managed to raise more than PHP30k which our company will equally match to be given to charity.

Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo growing efforts.

The money raised as a result of Movember is channelled into a number of world class and innovative education, support, research and awareness initiatives. Movember UK collaborates with the men’s health partner – The Prostate Cancer Charity.
