OAB employees organize “Souk Al Hemam” to support Omani Special Olympics Champions

Under the slogan “Participate and Make a Difference,” Oman Arab Bank (OAB) employees organized the “Souk Al Hemam” event in collaboration with Omani Special Olympics athletes. This initiative reaffirms the bank’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, promoting the values of social solidarity and inclusivity across all segments of society.

The event was held at the bank’s headquarters in Al-Ghubra, providing a platform to showcase the products of Omani Special Olympics athletes, highlight their unique skills and abilities, and empower them to integrate into society and achieve greater accomplishments.

Sulaiman Al Harthi, CEO of OAB, stated: “The ‘Souk Al Hemam’ initiative, organized by OAB employees, represents an important step in supporting Omani Special Olympics champions and assisting them in marketing their products. It also contributes to strengthening their activities, which play a significant role in integrating individuals with disabilities and bringing them joy through diverse programs.

These initiatives aim to foster positive interaction between the bank’s employees and participants, nurture promising talents, and empower them across various fields—particularly in sports, which enhance overall health and positively impact individuals with disabilities, their families, and society as a whole.

Through this innovative initiative, OAB employees highlight the positive impact of community engagement in empowering individuals with disabilities as part of Oman’s national and developmental goals.”

He added: “OAB is always keen to encourage its employees to actively participate in proposing and implementing initiatives that align societal goals with the bank’s holistic transformation strategy. This commitment is evident in our recent projects, such as the opening of a new branch in Sohar, designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities.

This branch was built according to the highest customer service standards and equipped with the latest technologies and advanced infrastructure, making it fully capable of serving people with disabilities. This project reflects the bank’s vision of extending this experience across all its branches, ensuring universal accessibility and delivering the best banking experience for all customers.”
