Giving Back

In March 2017 OMA Ghana won the CSR award for Socially Responsible Company of the year at Ghana Maritime Shipping Awards.

OMA Ghana was presented the award for having “shown a particularly strong commitment to CSR and to employee and community welfare and has shown creativity and innovation in the use of CSR initiatives.”

We were delighted with this award as it is an endorsement of OMA’s flagship programme Futurestars but also of our commitment to conduct our business activities in a responsible, transparent and ethical way, seen through our ISO management programme and Trace certifications.

Futurestars

Futurestars is an exciting education-through-sports charity founded in 2018 that works with six schools in Ghana and one in Togo.  Futurestars started as a project between OMA and Yinson in 2015 and has grown to become a UK and Ghanaian registered charity working with six schools in Ghana and one in Togo.  Futurestars offers:

• Sports & PE coaching sessions, run by qualified coaches, including pre and after-school clubs for the children to develop their skills funded by our corporate donors.
• A scholarship programme at the Future Leaders School in Accra; an independent school with no government funding for children who may otherwise not be in education. As little as £12.50 a month is the cost of educating one child and we are actively seeking donors to help make the school sustainable as part of our long-term charity goals.
• Futurestars offers a volunteer experience of a lifetime for individuals, schools, colleges or corporate groups to travel to Ghana to work on the projects at our partner schools.
