Additionally, U Microfinance Bank is committed to giving low-cost housing loans to those who have been harmed by flooding so they can restore their homes.
In addition, the PTCL Group has chosen to donate to the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund in order to assist the Pakistani government’s efforts to rebuild the communities. Additionally, the company has chosen to donate to numerous top aid organisations operating in the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh in order to provide immediate relief assistance in the affected areas.
Employees and staff of PTCL Group will make voluntary gifts that will be matched by the company, and the whole amount will be given to a reputable charity.
Hatem Bamatraf, President and Group CEO, PTCL & Ufone, shared his thoughts on offering support, saying, “These are tough times for millions of people across Pakistan, with everything ripped away by one of the biggest natural tragedies in recent times, including life, housing, and means of income.”
A common responsibility to support the process of rehabilitation for their brethren lies on both people and local groups at this time.
“At PTCL Group, we are honoured to play our part in offering assistance and support in whatever way we are able. The PTCL Group is committed to helping people, their families, and communities across the nation during this catastrophe, and it stands with the impacted people, he continued.
Millions of people have been affected by flooding in Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Balochistan. Lives have been lost, homes have been destroyed, and families have lost sources of income.
PTCL Group is once again assuming the duty of providing assistance to its people in a number of ways during this time of need.
