MUSCAT: Founded in 2002 and officially recognised in 2006, Dar Al Atta’a remains a cornerstone of charitable and humanitarian work in the Sultanate of Oman.
Under the stewardship of founder and chairperson Maryam bint Issa al Zadjaliyah, the organisation has expanded its programmes to touch every governorate, offering targeted assistance through education, housing, disaster relief and empowerment initiatives.
In 2024 alone, the association spent over RO 4.09 million on various programmes. During the first half of 2025, it has already disbursed around RO 2.038 million, reflecting its ongoing commitment to aiding vulnerable families and fostering stability.
Al Zadjali noted that Dar Al Atta’a has recently launched a Department of Social Innovation to integrate modern technology into its programmes — streamlining services and enabling a qualitative leap in service delivery.
This pioneering move aims to improve internal efficiency and expand outreach to underserved populations.
Among the association’s standout projects is the second phase of the Al Atta’a Neighbourhood in the Wilayat of Al Khabourah, featuring 36 model homes equipped with solar energy and water purification systems, alongside a mosque and community centre. The eco-friendly neighbourhood will serve as a model for sustainable community housing.
So far, the organisation has delivered 175 fully built homes and maintained over 2,514 units across the Sultanate of Oman.
These efforts have been instrumental in elevating the quality of life for many, demonstrating how grassroots efforts can drive national progress.
As Dar Al Atta’a continues to scale its impact, it remains firmly aligned with Oman’s broader objectives of achieving sustainable development, strengthening public-private partnerships and reinforcing the charitable sector as a vital component of national resilience.
