Supporting Local Education
Over the years, Genel’s focus on education projects have contributed to the development of the KRI’s educational sector, created more effective learning environments, and emphasised the significance of education in local communities. The numerous education-related projects Genel has implemented over the years include the refurbishment of schools across the region, the construction of a library and pre-schools, and the purchase of computers, books, school supplies, sports equipment and toys.
Educational initiatives have been a central theme for Genel’s social investment focus in the KRI and culminated in the launch of the Genel20 Scholars programme in 2022.
