Nama Group has begun evaluating entries for its 2017 Wiyakum Competition, which seeks to support select initiatives proposed by Omani youngsters, associations and sports clubs in support of charity work and volunteerism. The competition is backed by a number of government institutions and supported by the National Youth Commission.


As many as 137 entries are competing for honours in the third annual of this annual event. A preliminary evaluation of the proposals was completed by a joint committee representing Nama Group and The National Youth Commission. The best entries from each region will receive the support they need to implement their voluntary initiatives over a two-month timeframe.


Nama Group is championing volunteerism among the employers of its subsidiaries. In recent years, the Group has supported the training and development of volunteer staff eager to participate in charity programmes backed by civil society organisations. Volunteers get a day off for these activities. Registration of volunteers under the Wiyakum project will continue until August 17, 2017.
