Ooredoo is an integral member of the Omani society, placing ‘family’ at the centre of every aspect of its operation – from employees and their families to customers and their families, extending to the families that make up the wider community. As a result, corporate social responsibility is geared towards making families and their lives better through social development and by assisting voluntary organisations, government, and non-government organisations (NGOs).
The cornerstone of the Company’s community commitment, the Ooredoo Goodwill Journey, first began in 2005. A group of employees wanted to get closer to those most in need in towns and villages all over Oman and extend help irrespective of location. Every Ramadan Ooredoo Goodwill Journey comprises volunteers, media, and members of Oman’s scout and guide troops visiting at least 10 different charitable organisations in local communities. The aim is to make a long-term difference through carefully chosen donations such as sewing machines, computers, educational facilities, books and toys, and office furniture.
Investing in charitable events, community organisations, family-orientated activities such as the Muscat Festival and Salalah Tourism Festival, and the heritage of Oman is fundamental to the Company’s community programme. With Oman’s heritage steeped in the sea and sailing, Ooredoo is a partner of Oman Sail, offering Omani boys and girls aged 8-16 the opportunity learn about sailing while picking up important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and problem solving.
