MUSCAT: In line with its commitment to powering lives, Shell Oman Marketing Company (Shell Oman) is reinforcing its dedication to social development in the Sultanate of Oman through a partnership with the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD).
The objective of this partnership is to provide vigorous support to several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) registered under the Ministry. The signing ceremony was held at the Ministry’s office in the presence of key officials from the ministry and Shell Oman’s management.
As part of its collaboration, Shell Oman will provide support in the form of fuel cards and laptop devices to NGOs, enabling them to carry out their day-to-day activities efficiently and effectively.
The fuel support will benefit a number of non-governmental organisations and charity groups including Dar Al Atta, Al Noor Association — Muscat, Ihsan Association — Muscat, Ihsan Association — Batinah, and Al Rahma Association. By alleviating their commuting and transportation costs, Shell Oman aims to ensure that these organisations can reach and assist a broader spectrum of beneficiaries across Oman.
Furthermore, Shell Oman’s dedication to making a positive impact extends to children as well. Specifically, laptops will be provided to the Child Care Centre in Al Khoudh and Al Wafa Rehabilitation Centre in Nizwa. These devices will serve as catalysts in boosting the digital literacy of young individuals, exposing them to a diverse array of tools and programmes that are vital to their academic performance and personal development. By ensuring access to technology, Shell Oman is committed to equipping these children with the essential skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the digital era.
In alignment with its dedication to In-Country Value (ICV), Shell Oman has thoughtfully chosen to procure the laptops and electronic tablets from the Omani SME ‘Onsor’.
