In the first phase of the relief operation, Mobilink Foundation will transport food packages which include water and basic edibles for daily consumption of famine affectees. Mobilink Torchbearers have also established collection centers in Mobilink offices in Sindh to collect donations, clothes and other supplies to support the families in Tharparker. These supplies and donations will be sent to the affected region in the second phase of relief operations.

The relief efforts are reflective of Mobilink’s continued commitment over the years to be the first to reach out to affectees of natural disasters in Pakistan. In the past, Mobilink Torchbearers have provided monetary as well as relief work assistance to victims of the earthquake in 2005 and the floods in 2010. In 2013, Mobilink Torchbearers were the only employees of a cellular company to personally take food and basic supplies to victims of the Awaran Earthquake.
