The Al Buraimi Governorate recently witnessed the successful conclusion of the second edition of the Community Support Programme, an initiative spearheaded by the Eshraqa Foundation. This impactful program, finalized on Wednesday, aimed to strengthen ties between various sectors and bolster community development within the region.

Eshraqa Foundation’s Community Support Programme Concludes in Al Buraimi
The Eshraqa Foundation’s dedication to Oman’s progress was clearly demonstrated through the second iteration of its Community Support Programme in Al Buraimi. The programme’s core objective was to cultivate stronger community partnerships and provide tangible support to initiatives designed to improve the lives of residents. This year’s edition built upon the successes of the first, expanding its reach and deepening its impact across the governorate.
A Focus on Social Responsibility
A key element of the programme was the emphasis on instilling a sense of social responsibility, particularly among the youth. By directly engaging students and educational institutions, Eshraqa Foundation sought to empower them to become active contributors to their communities. This involved workshops, mentorship opportunities, and, crucially, a competitive element designed to encourage innovative solutions to local challenges. The programme aimed to move beyond simply identifying needs to actively fostering a spirit of initiative and resourcefulness.
Recognizing Excellence and Collaboration
The closing ceremony of the Community Support Programme was a celebratory event, held under the esteemed patronage of Sayyid Dr. Hamad bin Ahmed Al Busaidi, the Governor of Al Buraimi. The event served not only to mark the end of the programme but also to publicly acknowledge the contributions of those involved. A highlight of the ceremony was the announcement of the winners of the programme’s competition, recognizing their outstanding efforts in community engagement.
Notably, the Foundation extended its gratitude and recognition to eleven schools from across Al Buraimi Governorate. These schools played a pivotal role in mobilizing students and implementing impactful projects. Their participation underscored the vital link between education and community service, demonstrating how schools can serve as hubs for positive change. The honouring of these establishments reinforces the importance of their continued involvement in future initiatives.
Distinguished Attendees and Broad Support
The closing ceremony was well-attended, reflecting the widespread support for the Eshraqa Foundation’s work. Local dignitaries, government officials, and representatives from both public and private sector organizations were present, demonstrating a unified commitment to community development in Al Buraimi. This broad representation highlights the collaborative spirit that the programme actively seeks to promote. The presence of key stakeholders signals a long-term vision for sustainable growth and improvement within the governorate.
Impact and Future Outlook for Community Development
The successful completion of the second Community Support Programme in Al Buraimi signifies a significant step forward in the region’s development. By fostering collaboration and empowering local communities, the Eshraqa Foundation is creating a lasting legacy of positive change. The programme’s focus on education ensures that future generations will be equipped with the skills and values necessary to continue this momentum.
The initiative’s impact extends beyond the immediate projects undertaken. It has fostered a greater sense of ownership and responsibility among residents, encouraging them to actively participate in shaping the future of their communities. This is particularly important in a rapidly changing world, where local solutions are often the most effective. The Community Support Programme has proven to be a valuable model for other regions in Oman seeking to enhance their own community development efforts.
Looking ahead, the Eshraqa Foundation is expected to build upon the successes of this programme, exploring new avenues for collaboration and expanding its reach to even more communities. Continued investment in initiatives that promote social responsibility and empower local citizens will be crucial for achieving sustainable and inclusive growth in Al Buraimi and throughout Oman. The foundation’s commitment to sustainable initiatives is evident in its long-term vision for the governorate.
The programme’s conclusion serves as a reminder that meaningful change is only possible through collective action. We encourage individuals, organizations, and government entities to continue supporting and participating in initiatives like the Community Support Programme to build a brighter future for Al Buraimi and all of Oman.
