Bank Muscat, in collaboration with Oman Sail, continues to drive meaningful impact through the “Youth Uplifting Programme”, equipping students with leadership and teamwork skills in an inclusive learning environment. The first semester, ending this May, has benefitted around 100 students from grades 9 to 11 in public schools across Muscat Governorate, including integrated classes that bring together students with disabilities in a shared learning environment. It began in November 2025 and ran for six months, during which 13 training sessions were conducted, focusing on developing leadership and teamwork skills, promoting environmental responsibility, and encouraging students to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle.
The second semester will commence with a new cohort of students from September to December 2026. Each training session will span two days and will include sailing activities supervised by specialized trainers, alongside personal development sessions and financial literacy workshops. This integrated approach aims to equip students with well-rounded skills that support both their academic journey and personal growth.
This initiative is designed to develop the capabilities of Omani youth and enhance their skills through a comprehensive educational experience that combines sailing, personal development, and financial literacy. The programme also focuses on strengthening leadership and life skills through self-development activities, positively impacting students’ academic and professional paths, as well as their role in society. It stands out for its inclusive approach, involving youth with disabilities to ensure equal opportunities for them to harness their potential and actively participate in sailing activities.
Bank Muscat remains committed to reinforcing its leadership role in corporate social responsibility by launching and implementing various initiatives and programs targeting different segments of society, particularly youth, across areas such as education, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and financial inclusion. These efforts are carried out in collaboration with government and private entities, in line with sustainable development goals and to strengthen community partnerships.
Among the programmes specifically targeting students is the “Maliyat Academy” financial literacy initiative, implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. The initiative has achieved outstanding results over the past two years, benefiting more than 100,000 students from approximately 800 schools across various wilayats and governorates of the Sultanate.
Bank Muscat continues to strengthen its position as a leading national institution in supporting community initiatives. Over the past years, the bank has received numerous prestigious awards and recognitions in the field of corporate social responsibility, in appreciation of its impactful contributions and sustainable initiatives that create tangible positive impact on society. These include the “CSR Bank” award at the Gazet International Annual Awards, and the “Outstanding Community Initiatives in Banking” at the World Business Outlook Awards 2025. In addition, the bank has received “the Leadership Award in Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Service” from Muscat Media Group, as well as recognition as “the CSR Leader of the Year” Award from United Media Services.
