Mobilink Foundation took the
initiative to assist the local government in providing relief to the victims of
severe heat wave which scoured Karachi and its neighboring localities this past
week. Mobilink’s heat wave relief activity came to a completion with the
planned distribution of relief by its Mobilink Torchbearers team at AbbasiShaheed Hospital - Karachi, Qatar Hospital - Karachi, Shah Bhitai Hospital -
Hyderabad and Civil Hospital- Hyderabad.
Speaking after the completion of
the activity, Farooq Niaz, Senior Manager Corporate Communications, PR and CSR
– Mobilink stated, “Our Mobilink Torchbearers assisted more than 3300 people
throughout Karachi and Hyderabad in the last week of June, most of them heat
stroke victims without adequate medical facilities and supplies due to
overcrowding in all hospitals.”
Explaining the Telco’s aim to
support local communities in times of need, he added, “We, at Mobilink,
consider ourselves to be a valued part of the local community and constantly
strive to assist in its rehabilitation whenever need arises. In this regard,
Mobilink Torchbearers will continue their volunteer work throughout the month
of Ramadan as a means to support and positively impact the communities that we
operate in.”
The heat wave relief activity saw
Mobilink Torchbearers distribute a total of 10,000 bottles of mineral water,
6000 boxes of juice, 4000 ice packs, 4000 hand sized towels and 40 cooling
water fans amongst heat stroke patients, their families and administration
staff at the four hospitals. Commissioner Karachi appreciated the efforts of
Mobilink Torchbearers and thanked them for playing an active role in
disseminating aid at a critical situation. Mobilink has pledged to continue
distributing aid amongst various hospitals throughout Karachi and neighboring
localities during this abnormal weather situation.
Mobilink Foundation, a registered non-profit organization, has always encouraged the spirit of volunteerism amongst Mobilink employees due to which it has been able to accomplish so much since its inception in 2007. The foundation continues to assist the communities in need, while pushing to uplift them at the same time.
