Telenor Pakistan flood relief efforts have gained momentum as the company pledged PKR 58 million to nationwide recovery. This step shows its resolve to stand with the nation in times of crisis.
The contribution includes PKR 10 million in cash for Al Khidmat Foundation. With this support, the foundation delivers nutrition, medicines, and hygiene packs to the hardest-hit areas. The amount combines donations from Telenor employees with funds from the company itself. Moreover, Telenor is extending in-kind services to strengthen relief efforts.
Recognising that connectivity is a lifeline, the company has enabled free calls in flood-affected regions. In addition, it has deployed extra resources to keep its network running without interruption. This support helps families and rescue teams stay connected during emergencies.
Fridtjof Rusten, CEO of Telenor Pakistan, said: “The devastation caused by the floods is heartbreaking, and our deepest sympathies go to all those affected. When lives and livelihoods are disrupted, collective action becomes imperative. At Telenor Pakistan, we focus on helping communities build resilience, ensuring connectivity when it matters most, and contributing meaningfully to the rebuilding of lives and hope for the future.”
Floods continue to challenge Pakistan every year, destroying infrastructure and displacing thousands of families. Therefore, corporate contributions like Telenor Pakistan flood relief initiatives play an essential role in supporting recovery and rehabilitation. By combining financial assistance with technology-driven solutions, the company addresses both urgent needs and long-term rebuilding.
Telenor has a proud tradition of standing with Pakistan during crises. For example, the company responded to the 2005 earthquake, the floods of 2010 and 2022, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It has consistently provided financial aid, free services, and critical resources. This latest initiative reinforces Telenor’s long-term commitment to social responsibility and sustainable community support.
