Taking its philanthropic message to a Digital platform, Eshraqa, The Khimji Ramdas Social Development Arm, has launched its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) website www.eshraqa.om. Visitors to the CSR website will now be able to gain quick and easy access to view Eshraqa’s latest initiatives, including its current projects & upcomingevents that impact Omani communities at large.
The website is a reflection of Eshraqa’s unique name which in Arabic means ‘The glow from the rays of the dawn or morning sun’ to symbolise new beginnings and hope. Its design takes inspiration from Oman’s rich cultural heritage to reinforce Eshraqa’s strong commitment to the local community.
The website is a ready reference for visitors to learn more about Eshraqa’s values, mission and vision. The key objectives of Eshraqa fall under three main pillars – Education, Health and Community Wellbeing.
