SOHAR Port and Freezone Advances Community Development in 2025

SOHAR Port and Freezone strengthened its approach to social responsibility in 2025 through a structured institutional framework aligned with national priorities, linking social impact with economic contribution and supporting national capacity building. The initiatives focused on education, social care, youth empowerment, and community capacity building, positively impacting approximately 50,000 beneficiaries across the Sultanate of Oman.

 

In education, more than 2,000 students received essential school supplies, alongside targeted investments to upgrade science laboratories and learning environments in two educational institutions. In addition, 39 educational visits welcomed over 1,500 students, providing practical exposure to port and freezone operations and strengthening alignment between education and the industrial and logistics sectors.

 

Youth initiatives engaged 155 participants through structured training programmes focused on professional readiness and community engagement, while more than 1,000 students benefited from the Maseer Programme through educational and awareness activities. Healthcare capacity was also supported through hands-on training for 75 nursing students using advanced simulation equipment.

 

Volunteer initiatives delivered through the Ayadi platform benefited 126 participants. In parallel, SOHAR allocated 20% of its annual social responsibility budget to programmes implemented in partnership with the Oman Charitable Organization, supporting more than 45,500 beneficiaries, alongside collaboration with three local charitable organizations.

 

Commenting on the programmes, Rashad Al Wahaibi, Communication Advisor of SOHAR Port and Freezone, said: “Our approach to social responsibility is guided by a clear, results-driven framework focused on delivering measurable outcomes that support national priorities and strengthen the link between social impact and economic value. Through structured programmes and effective partnerships, we aim to ensure that our community initiatives deliver sustainable, long-term impact.”

 

These efforts form part of SOHAR Port and Freezone’s integrated investment role, supporting balanced social and economic outcomes centered on people, the economy, and sustainability.
