Dar Al Atta’a distributes school uniforms and stationery to 3,748 needy students

MUSCAT: Underprivileged children’s faces lit up as they received school equipment and stationery from Dar Al Atta’a and students from Muscat and Bausher Educational Village to prepare themselves for the school year.

Dar Al Atta’a’s Student Care programme raised the necessary funds to provide school uni- forms and stationery to needy children ahead of the 2016/2017 academic year. The charity raised OMR48,832.930 which provided 3,748 students from 42 different schools across the Sultanate with the necessities they need for their education, says a press release.

Maryam Al Zadjali, Dar Al Atta’a chairperson, said, “These aids come as part of the Student Care Programme and that is one of our main programmes to support the needy families by providing their children with the basic needs for schools.

“In this regard, we would like to thank the staff and volunteers of Dar Al Atta’a who have helped us in sorting this huge number of stationary and would like to thank Al Obeidana for donating the dishdashas.”

Dar Al Atta’a is currently conducting a campaign to collect funds for less fortunate children’s Eid clothes. OMR10 will cover the cost for one child while OMR20 and OMR30 will go to two and three children respectively.
