Ever since the massive floods hit various parts of Pakistan last year, people who lost their homes, livelihood, and loved ones have been trying to piece their lives back together. During Phase I of its efforts to support these families, Mondelez donated over PKR 22 million in cash and kind which effectively enabled several families to survive themselves while gradually getting back on their feet. In continuation of its commitment to national causes and to fulfill its responsibility as an empathetic and socially responsible corporate entity, the organization continues to pledge more time and resources to community development work across various areas in the country which has continued throughout the year.

Commenting on the development, Usama Majeed, Head of Corporate Affairs Mondelez Pakistan, stated: “Pakistan is our homeland and as a company that is part of its economic infrastructure, we carry a significant responsibility towards society as well. We continually recognize this duty and focus on committing to initiatives that support numerous pertinent causes across the country. Phase II of our flood rehabilitation efforts is a step in this direction and we are proud to be playing a role in making lives easier for people in these regions.”

The Mondelez teams met with families affected by the floods in the region and assured them of their assistance in collaborating and contributing towards the ongoing restoration efforts. 

PTCL, Akhuwat deliver food packages to flood-affected communities in Balochistan

Karachi – October 04, 2022: PTCL Group in collaboration with Akhuwat Foundation has delivered food packages to flood-affected communities in Balochistan that have been facing food shortages in the wake of recent monsoon floods.

The food assistance initiative is part of PTCL Group’s PKR 1.75 billion pledge towards relief and rehabilitation of the devastated communities across the country.

Sharing his thoughts, Head of PR & Corporate Communication, PTCL & Ufone, Amir Pasha, said, “PTCL Group collaborated with Akhuwat to provide food assistance to the people, especially women, children, and the elderly. As nutrition is the most fundamental need at this time, the support will provide relief to the communities. I sincerely believe that relieving the communities of the worry for basic commodities will help them focus their energies on rehabilitation and return to normalcy.”

PTCL Group was one of the first responders to the calamity by opening doors of its medical centers across the country to provide medical assistance to the flood-affected communities. In addition to this, Ufone 4G provided free calls across the flood-hit districts to aid in rescue and relief activities, while the Group has been providing food and clean drinking water to people in Sindh and Balochistan to protect them from malnutrition and waterborne diseases.

Being a Pakistani company, PTCL Group will continue to support with more such initiatives and interventions in the coming weeks. Ends
