Oryx GTL yesterday signed a five-year partnership agreement with Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) to sponsor Aspire’s pilot CSR initiative for people with disabilities, freestyle aquatics.
The agreement was signed at AZF’s Headquarters by Abdulla Nasser Al Naemi, Director General, Aspire Logistics and Mohamed Al Enazi, Chief Administration Officer, Oryx GTL, in the presence of officials from Oryx GTL including Ibrahim Al Kuwari, CSR Coordinator.
The support that Oryx GTL provides to this unique CSR programme will benefit more than 27 participants with special needs, aged 5 and above who will be given customised swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving experiences and individualised training sessions.
Commenting on the new partnership, Abdulla Nasser Al-Naemi, Director General, Aspire Logistics, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Oryx GTL. This news will further enhance our efforts to attract greater numbers of participants to this unique initiative.
The business’ involvement reflects how national organisations are keen to integrate people with special needs into society, and to break down perceptions that sports are to be enjoyed exclusively by a particular group of people.”
Meanwhile, Mohamed Al Enazi, Chief Administration Officer, ORYX GTL said: “Through our corporate social responsibility programme, we aim to contribute to different sectors of the economy including sports, education and health. It is a great honour to join forces with AZF to support this unique initiative by sponsoring it for five years.”
Freestyle Aquatics at Aspire is part of AZF’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme and builds on its existing efforts to provide people with disabilities with a wide range of opportunities to participate in sporting activity throughout the year.
Creating such opportunities encourages people to maintain active and adopt healthy lifestyles, helping them feel included in the various local community activities underway in Qatar.
