MUSCAT -- BankMuscat donated 31 personal computers (PCs) and 19 sewing machines to physically challenged citizens who successfully completed a training programme in computer and tailoring at the Disabled Care and Rehabilitation Centre.
Shaikh Mohammed Abdullah al Busaidy, Wali of Seeb, presided at the ceremony.
Shaima Murtadha al Lawati, Head of CSR Department, said: "BankMuscat is happy to support the Disabled Care and Rehabilitation Centre and help the physically challenged people to lead normal lives and thereby contribute to society. The gesture benefiting citizens with special needs is aimed at helping them overcome their challenges and integrate with the mainstream society."
Saleh Issa al Agbari, Manager of Disabled Care and Rehabilitation Centre, said: "We are thankful to BankMuscat for being sensitive to the needs of people with special needs and taking steps to enrich their lives. The donation of PCs and sewing machines will empower them for their daily tasks. We thank BankMuscat for its generosity."
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of BankMuscat is a commitment to contribute towards sustainable development by working closely with local communities with the aim of improving living standards in a manner that serves the national economy and development process at the same time. BankMuscat is the first Omani bank to establish a full-fledged CSR department in Oman.
Considered among core values, the CSR policy stems from the bank's strong belief in the importance of social responsibility.
The bank is of the view that its social responsibility is not merely participation in charitable works and organisation of voluntary campaigns, but responsibility towards all-round development of society.
