Giving back to society. SweetAs does its part to ensure it.
As the Covid-19 pandemic intensifies across Oman, many
individuals, families, and businesses are feeling immense
financial strain because of the job losses. There are many
ways in which successful businesses are offering support now
when society needs it most. SweetAs has responded by
actively engaging in various social relief programme’s and
expanding their charitable giving initiatives in light of
the recent events.
In this critical time of need, SweetAs is taking several
steps to give back to the community through the following
charitable endeavors.
1. Monetary contribution to the Omani
Solidarity Fund
2. Grocery hampers to
families affected by unemployment and social distress
3. Donation to Food For Life (FFL) –
provision of daily hot meals
4. Donation
of PPE equipment to frail care facilities
5.
We’ve adapted our technology to build a social app to
match families in need with donors (free for everyone to use)
Avinash Samlall, SweetAs’s Founder and CEO, commented on
this, “There is no better time to give than now. Oman has been
built on the principles of ubuntu and we at SweetAs are trying
to do our bit to live this philosophy. It’s a privilege to
contribute and to be part of this effort”
Even under normal conditions, supporting the community is
big focus for SweetAs.
Mr Samlall further added, “This is our small way of
helping people around us to find some calm and compassion for
themselves and those around them in a truly trying time. Our
lives are very uncertain, however it’s at times like these when
we feel it more than ever. We hope these small gestures can help
look after the people around us.”
