Orascom Development has announced a strategic partnership between Muriya and INJAZ Oman, one of Oman’s most impactful youth-serving non-profit organizations, in order to advance youth entrepreneurship and work readiness in Dhofar.
Muriya is the joint venture between the internationally acclaimed builder of fully integrated towns, Orascom Development Holding (ODH) and Oman Tourism Development Company (OMRAN), the leading executive government arm for tourism development in the Sultanate.
This collaboration reflects Orascom Development’s regional commitment to empowering young talent and fostering sustainable communities, a focus that is demonstrated across its destinations worldwide.
According to the statement, over 1,500 students across Dhofar’s educational institutions have already benefited from a series of engaging programs as part of this partnership, delivering hours of learning, with the support of 15 dedicated volunteers and 10 employees from Muriya. These programs are focused on enhancing financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills.
Omar El Hamamsy, the Group CEO of Orascom Development and member of Muriya board of directors and INJAZ Al-Arab’s MENA regional board of directors, said that, “Empowering young talent is central to Orascom Development’s success of creating sustainable development across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. As a long-standing member of INJAZ Al-Arab’s board, I am pleased that this partnership between Muriya and INJAZ Oman exemplifies how the private, government and non-profit sectors can work together to enable our communities to be more resilient.”
“By equipping Arab youth with essential skills and encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit, we are helping to nurture the business leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow and preparing them to contribute to the region’s long-term economic growth and diversification,” Hamamsy noted.
Eng Wael Al Lawati, CEO of Muriya, commented that, “We are proud to collaborate with INJAZ Oman to support Oman’s next generation and nurture talent that will shape Dhofar’s future. We believe that investment towards youth education is essential for sustainable development and the long-term success of Oman’s economy.”
