Oman LNG signs agreement to support disabled children

The Ministry of Social Development and Oman Liquefied Natural Gas (Oman LNG) today signed an agreement to the tune of RO 4 million to carry out three initiatives within the context of the ministry’s mission to promote social responsibility and consolidate partnerships to serve this goal.

The agreement was signed by Dr Laila Ahmed al Najjar, Minister of Social Development; and Hamad Mohammed al Naumani, CEO of Oman LNG.

The agreement signed is aligned with Oman’s 2040 vision that ensures a prosperous future for all citizens. Oman’s Vision 2040 comprises a list of national priorities with citizens and the development of the country positioned at the centre of a strategic plan to ensure the Sultanate keeps pace with regional and global advancements. Two components in the twelve priorities, directly benefitting from Oman LNG’s recent signing with the Ministry of Social Development are Well-Being and Social Protection, and Education, Learning, Scientific Research and National Capabilities.

The first intervention is the capacity building of over two hundred and fifty professional therapists in diverse areas of specialisations relating to special needs care and disabilities. This programme comes to support Omanisation in this field while it enriches their capabilities and skills as well as supporting tailored capacity-building
