DUBAI: The Okhai Memon Youth Services is celebrating the year 2018 as GOLDEN JUBILEE year of its inception. The organization has played a pivotal role in overall development of members of Okhai Memons, especially for the youth of the community.
The Okhai Memon Youth Services was founded by our late President Muhammad Usman. He had a vision for the young generation of the community, providing them education up to professional level and making them productive members of the society. That’s main reason to focus on education was the belief that through this journey we will be able to create a more knowledgeable community who will be self-reliant solving their problems without putting pressures on the community social organization and their resources.
Educating the community is a process and not an event. In this connection we have made commitment to the community that InshaALLAH we will ensure that not a single student is denied the right of education for financial reasons. In order to fulfill our promise we have planned an EDUCATION ENDOWMENT FUND with a target of Rs. 25 million in 2018 which will further increase in coming days. In this connection we are approaching potential donors locally and internationally to reach the target. We believe that income generated from the fund will be enough to meet the educational needs of the students. The placement of Endowment Funds will be look after by a highly competent Finance Committee which will ensure that the investments are not only safe but yield good returns.
On the occasion of Golden Jubilee Executive Council introduced OMYS Golden Jubilee Coins & Shields to generate endowment funds and we appeal all donors to be part of this noble cause by donating generously to the Endowment Fund.
In this connection a Fund Raising Events are schedule in Dubai where all members from Memon Community specially Okhai Memons are invited as per below schedule;
The OMYS will participate in Memon Expo by International Memon Organisation from 5th till 6th April & Get-to-Gather Session with UAE Community (Only Okhai Memons) in Dubai on 7th April, 2018.
