We firmly believe that addressing the challenges posed by climate extremes is a collective duty shared by all sectors - public, private, and charitable organizations alike. In these trying times, our hearts go out to all those impacted by the recent climatic conditions in the Sultanate. We stand in solidarity with the community, hoping that our contribution will help alleviate their burdens and restore a sense of normalcy."
