  • Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning and Dar Al Atta’a Association signed an agreement to build 45 social housing units.
  • The project, costing over OMR1.8 million, is part of the 'Together We Build, Together We Achieve Impact' initiative.
  • The housing units will be constructed in various wilayats across Oman, with a focus on enhancing family stability and social cohesion.

In a significant step towards bolstering social welfare, Oman's Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has joined forces with the Dar Al Atta’a Association to construct 45 much-needed social housing units. This collaboration, formalized through a cooperation agreement, represents a substantial investment exceeding OMR1.8 million and falls under the banner of the impactful 'Together We Build, Together We Achieve Impact' initiative.

The agreement, signed on the sidelines of the 21st Oman Real Estate, Design & Build Exhibition and Conference 2026, outlines the construction of 20 units in the Wilayat of Al Amerat within the Muscat Governorate, specifically in the 'Hay Al Atta’a No. 2' and 'Hay Al Atta’a No. 3' projects. An additional 25 units will be distributed across other wilayats in cooperation with local voluntary charity teams, demonstrating a nationwide commitment to addressing housing needs.

This initiative aims to enhance family stability and social cohesion, noting that the association has successfully constructed more than 220 homes to date under the 'My Home, My Haven' (Maskani Ma’mani) program.

Maryam Issa Al Zedjali, Founder and Chairperson of Dar Al Atta’a, highlighted the initiative's core aim: to enhance family stability and social cohesion. She noted the association's impressive track record, having already constructed over 220 homes through its 'My Home, My Haven' program. The recent inauguration of the 'Hay Al Atta’a' project in Sana'a Bani Ghafir, featuring 36 sustainable housing units, underscores their dedication to modern, eco-friendly construction practices, including solar panels and water recycling.

From the perspective of Oman, as covered by Times of Oman, this initiative is more than just building houses; it's about building stronger communities and providing secure havens for families in need. The meticulous selection process for beneficiaries, involving thorough verification of social cases by charity teams, ensures that aid reaches those who truly require it. This commitment to targeted support and sustainable development reflects Oman's broader vision for social progress and inclusive growth.

She affirmed that the construction, supervision, and financing will be carried out according to specified allocations to achieve the desired social impact.
