(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- For supporting, empowering and recognising women in the society, Knowledge Oman celebrated Omani Women's Day since His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said's declaration of the day during the Women's Symposium in 2009.
Knowledge Oman has attracted a network of professional and expert women in the industry representing various industries and sectors to support the growth and development of women in the country. The prominent role of women at the helm of the leading social platform is a testament to the progress made by women in the country and their strategic role driving forward key initiatives in the society serving the vision of His Majesty the Sultan towards a knowledge-based society.
Knowledge Oman has empowered women since its launch from various professions and backgrounds with an open community platform that celebrates achievements, encourages talent and enables positive difference in the sultanate. Tariq Hilal al Barwani, founder of Knowledge Oman, said 'Knowledge Oman continues to offer many opportunities for women to join, participate and make a difference in the society. Today, we are proud that women in the team have been the corner stone of our success, leading and sustaining the majority of our projects. Without them, we wouldn't have achieved and reached where we are today.'
Women at Knowledge Oman have spearheaded many projects that received major recognition in their role such as the Knowledge Ambassadors project with a network of speakers sharing their knowledge across the country to creative charity events with donations that benefit specific community causes. 'We are very pleased and happy to be part of Knowledge Oman and also to be recognised for the work we do in the society. The learning, the network and opportunities we get definitely helps us prosper and make a better contribution in the country. We welcome all women to join us in this difference making platform,' said Balqees al Hassani, vice president of Knowledge Oman.
Knowledge Oman has organised women entrepreneurship seminars specifically to educate, support and develop women capacity in the country and also organised women only gathering in Sultan Qaboos University, which contributed in establishing strong relations among the team and collectively discussing their role and way forward.
Established in April 2008, Knowledge Oman received award-winning status locally and internationally, collaborated with various organisations, rolled out community learning programmes and continues to enrich its knowledge sharing platform with programs that benefit the society.
Knowledge Oman is driven by His Majesty the Sultan's vision of building a knowledge-based society, with the mission of connecting communities with knowledge and opportunities.
