Appeal to help Pakistan relief fund

Dawood Pervez, managing director of Bestway Wholesale.

BESTWAY Wholesale has launched a fundraising scheme to help those affected by flooding in Pakistan.

The wholesaler, which has roots in Pakistan, is collecting funds through depot collections and JustGiving.com. The business’s charitable arm, Bestway Foundation, intends to work closely with world charities on the ground and deliver aid to those that need it through support networks in Pakistan.

Parent company Bestway Group, which owns the second biggest bank in Pakistan, has already announced financial and material support worth a million US dollars for the disaster-hit country.

Dawood Perez, managing director of Bestway Wholesale, said: “As a company which has retained its heritage and links to Pakistan, we want to do all we can to support the recovery efforts and help those that need help the most.

“We know how desperate the situation is right now before disease and further suffering sets in.

“The significant investment already made by Bestway Group allows us to actively provide immediate relief; and by working in partnership with local businesses and financial institutions we are putting in place long term sustainable measures so that we can rehabilitate the masses effected by this national tragedy.

“We are now appealing to all our supply partners, friends, customers and colleagues to join with us and support this cause to help the people of Pakistan.”

Anyone who would like to donate to the Bestway Foundation ca do so via the JustGiving website.
