Muscat: Organized by the Omani Lawyers Association in coordination with the Ministry of Social
Development and the Supreme Judicial Council, the initiative aims to assist individuals
detained due to financial or civil obligations by helping settle outstanding debts and
enabling them to reunite with their families.
Through its support, Sohar International has contributed to resolving several cases involving
individuals in civil, commercial, religious, and labor-related matters. The Bank’s participation
reflects its continued commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its belief in
the importance of collaborative initiatives that address social challenges and promote
community well-being across the Sultanate.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Mazin Mahmood Al Raisi, Chief Marketing Officer at Sohar
International, stated: “Our support for the Fak Kurbah initiative reflects Sohar
International’s longstanding commitment to creating meaningful social impact. As we
approach the blessed occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, this initiative carries even deeper significance,
as it helps individuals reunite with their families during a time centered on compassion,
forgiveness, and togetherness. Through our partnership with this volunteer-driven initiative,
we aim to strengthen community solidarity while supporting efforts that bring hope and
dignity to those affected.
At Sohar International, we believe organizations have animportant role to play in advancing positive social outcomes, and initiatives such as Fak Kurbah allow us to contribute to a more compassionate, inclusive, and resilient society.”

individuals and charitable organizations to settle financial obligations for detainees. Over
the years, the initiative has evolved into a sustainable, year-round effort that has positively
