Food, shelter, education, and clothing are some of the basic requirements of life and a large population in the country and across the globe lack access to such necessities. As individuals and organisations endowed with wealth, it is our moral obligation to help those in need while simultaneously striving towards the betterment of our society. Recognising this, Sobha Group has always placed a high importance on fulfilling its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This project is also part of such charitable endeavours and our commitment to giving back to the community.”
