Mobilink provide six state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technology (ICT) labs to schools to support education across the country. This social investment project is being carried out by Mobilink in collaboration with Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) under its `Make Your Mark' (MYM) ICT Enhancement Programme to support and uplift local education sector.
Under the agreement, PCP as a project partner will recommend schools in need of these ICT labs and will be responsible for due diligence of the NGOs by ensuring that the recipients are serving marginalized social classes. At a signing ceremony held here Tuesday, Omar Manzur, Head of Corporate Communications - Mobilink said this partnership would help further expand our social investment projects and enhance local education sector through the latest IT equipment.
He said PCP being our partner will facilitate the initiative by short listing NGO run schools in need of these labs and ensuring these schools continue providing marginalized social classes access to these labs through routine checks. He said the initiatives planned under `Make Your Mark' programme will offer support to a variety of beneficiaries to tackle the socio-economic challenges in Pakistan.
Further elaborating on this partnership, Shazia Maqsood Amjad, Executive Director - PCP said corporations today are more involved in social and economic development around the world and Mobilink is right there amongst the most philanthropic companies owning to the work they have been doing since the past decade or more in Pakistan.
