Oman Malayalee Group Extends a Helping Hand to Expat Community
Muscat, Oman – The Ruwi Malayalee Association (RMA), a community organization dedicated to supporting Malayali expatriates in Oman, is hosting a special welfare camp for the benefit of its members.
The event, planned in collaboration with Purushottam Kanchi Exchange, will be held at both the Ruwi and Khurram branches of the exchange house on December 13th, kicking off at 10:00 AM.
“Statistics show that many immigrants who dedicate themselves to the well-being of their adopted home countries don’t prioritize their own welfare," the RMA committee stated in a press release. "A low subscription rate to the welfare fund highlights this concerning trend, largely due to a lack of awareness about the program and the eligibility criteria."
The camp aims to rectify this issue by providing expatriates with comprehensive information about the fund and addressing any concerns they might have.
Organizers hope that by empowering expats with knowledge about the welfare fund, they can ensure a smoother journey through life’s unexpected challenges.
