(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Empowering visually impaired communities with means of reading, Bank Sohar's CSR programme 'Sohar al Ataa' has extended support to Al Noor Association for the Blind enabling them to purchase a braille printer for its benefactors.
The bank's on-going support to the association as well as other non-profit organisations nationwide falls under its strategy to positively contribute through sustainable investments that empower communities of differently abled individual, further their education, training and socio-economic welfare. The donation cheque was handed over to Ibrahim Hamdoon al Harthi, chairman of Al Noor Association for the Blind, at their headquarters in Muscat by Mazin Mahmood al Raisi, sr AGM and head of Marketing and Customer Experience at Bank Sohar.
Ahmed al Musalmi, CEO of Bank Sohar, said, 'Education is critical to any nation's advancement, and that should comprise all segments of society, including those that are visually impaired, physically challenged and/or with limited social and economic opportunities. By enabling Al Noor Association for the Blind to provide better means of communication, Bank Sohar is ultimately providing a greater scope of learning opportunities for the association's benefactors. Our contribution thus delivers sustainable value and helps to bring a far broader range of opportunities for this valued segment of society whilst promoting the association's continued efforts in meeting their objectives. We commend the association's on-going efforts and wish them all the best in their endeavours.'
Harthi said, 'We thank Bank Sohar for funding this important piece of equipment. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the fact that the quality of care we provide to our beneficiaries is largely a result of the support that we receive from the private sector; thus, we hope the bank's support inspires other corporations.'
