Ooredoo completes first week of 20th Goodwill Journey

A dedicated team from Ooredoo has recently completed the first week of its 20th Goodwill Journey (GWJ) across Oman. The GWJ is one of the telco’s flagship and community-led Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and connects Ooredoo and its volunteers with the most pressing requirements of members of local communities.

It involves sustainable endeavours which have a significant positive impact on young Omani job-seekers, women entrepreneurs, disabled people, hospitalised children, students, low-income families, and the natural environment.

This year, the team attended the graduation of fifty Omanis from the Wilayat of Muttrah, who took part in an Ooredoosponsored electrician training programme for young Omani job-seekers.

The next stop of the GWJ team was the Wilayat of Qurayat to open the ‘Little Innovator Hall’, which provides innovative school students with educational opportunities in technology. This stop also involved a tour of the Ooredoo’s Omani Women’s Incubator to take note of the latest developments.

In a remote village of the Wilayat of Al Rustaq, the team visited one of the schools where they donated several digital screens and tools to create a more conducive school environment. Next, the volunteers headed to Shinas to renovate the homes of low-income families.

The team also visited Suhar to support local families in collaboration with Takaful Sohar by providing branded booths for SMES owned by low-income families to display their products.

At Sohar Hospital, the team inaugurated an Ooredoosponsored digital and ageappropriate entertainment space to support children receiving hospital treatment while distributing gifts to them.
