Marafiq Supports National Forum on Child Development and Inclusion
Marafiq strengthened its commitment to social development by sponsoring and participating in the Oman Childhood Conference & Exhibition 2, a high-impact event focusing on pathways to rehabilitation and empowerment for children with disabilities and broader child-wellbeing themes.
At this premier three-day event, Marafiq engaged with key stakeholders from government ministries, non-profit organisations, education and rehabilitation providers. The conference, held under the theme “Horizons of Rehabilitation and Empowerment in Caring for Children with Disabilities in the Era of Emerging Technologies”, provided a platform for dialogue, innovation and collaboration.
Marafiq’s sponsorship demonstrates its alignment with national efforts to promote inclusive development, enhancing overall societal welfare in line with Oman Vision 2040.
During the event, the exhibition showcased assistive technologies, interactive programmes and workshops aimed at children, parents, educators and professionals. Marafiq’s presence and support helped reinforce the importance of harnessing modern technologies, inclusive education and recreation programmes to support children of all abilities.
By aligning with this initiative, Marafiq underscores its role beyond utilities delivery: as a contributor to social infrastructure, capacity-building and community value creation.
Marafiq remains committed to collaborating with partners across sectors—education, health, social services and technology—to advance inclusive outcomes for children in Oman. Moving forward, the company intends to integrate insights from the event into its corporate social responsibility programmes, support local SMEs focused on child-centred technologies and assist in creating enabling environments for childhood development, empowerment and community resilience.
