Myint & Associates Offshore Supply Base Ltd. (M&AOSB) is deeply committed to community development through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program. As a member of the MPRL E&P Group of Companies, M&AOSB prioritizes social responsibility alongside its business activities.
In collaboration with government training institutes and private educational institutions, M&AOSB has been offering vocational support courses to locals, aiming to enhance livelihoods and create more job opportunities. Over 420 individuals have already benefitted from these initiatives.
In the current Fiscal Year 2023-2024, M&AOSB’s CSR Program has taken a targeted approach by focusing on villages near its project area. Recognizing the challenges faced by young people with limited access to higher education, M&AOSB selected six youths from different localities within its project area for Nurse Aide Training and Pharmacist Aide Training at the iCare Nurse Aide and Pharmacist Aide Training Centre in Pathein.
Five local girls and one boy were among the beneficiaries of M&AOSB’s CSR Program. These youths, aged between 18 and 22 and having completed secondary education, embarked on a three-month course taught by experienced instructors. Over this period, they will undergo a two-month lecture series in Pathein followed by a one-month practical training in Yangon hospitals, facilitated by the training school. The training began on 01 January 2024 and focused on the latest curriculum. M&AOSB covered all expenses, including training fees, course materials, living costs, and travel expenses. The CSR program not only covers the financial aspects but also provides moral support to the trainees. Therefore, through the interviews, the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to M&AOSB and shared their ambitions for the future.
