Armed with a band of equally committed people from diverse nationalities and professions, Knowledge Oman continues to work on projects involving children, elderly and the poor.

Since 2008, Knowledge Oman has visited hospitals such as Sultan Qaboos University Hospital to distribute gifts to children; supported Al Noor Blind Association and Children’s library with setting up of IT infrastructure; visited the elderly at the Rustaq Care House and distributed educational materials to academic institutions such as University of Nizwa, the German University of Technology and the Middle East College of Information Technology.

Knowledge Oman also organises Iftar Siam project for distributing food to the needy families during Ramadhan.

Al Barwani said, “Success is best when it is shared with others. What drives me happy is when I see others happy. The real success is when everyone else is successful too. Along with the Knowledge Oman team, we will continue to work to enrich the lives of people in the country positively.”
