Jazz will provide emergency supplies and telecommunication services.
Jazz has promised to commit PKR 1 billion to the cause of providing much-needed emergency supplies and telecommunications services to the flood victims in collaboration with its digital financial services JazzCash and sister business Mobilink Microfinance Bank.
Jazz will collaborate closely with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the government to facilitate the delivery of emergency commodities such as food, shelter, and medical supplies.
Volunteer contributions from Jazz workers will also be made to support humanitarian efforts around the country. The relief effort makes it easier for Jazz customers to designate the charitable organizations that will receive donations through JazzCash and SMS.
Chief Executive Officer of Jazz, Aamir Ibrahim, said “During this unprecedented time, while our thoughts and prayers are with the flood affectees, we are also committed to ensuring connectivity to aid relief efforts.”
He further added, “We are also committed to extending a helping hand to our fellow citizens in terms of emergency supplies.”
“It is a duty for us to react to Pakistan’s moment of need, and we will go all the way in restoring the lives of those who have been impacted,” he continued.
A large portion of the funding will be focused on maintaining free and subsidized services for access to emergency care and rescue helplines to ensure connectivity.
The firm has also sped up the sign-up procedure for JazzCash mobile wallets to facilitate immediate relief efforts by contributors making direct payments to members of the local community who are first-hand victims of the floods.
“We will go all the way in repairing the lives of those who have been affected.”
