Islamabad
\nPakistan\u2019s leading digital microfinance bank, Mobilink Bank, has launched a meaningful social investment initiative in collaboration with the Depilex Smileagain Foundation, providing 25 electric scooters to female survivors of acid and kerosene burn violence.
\nIntroduced under the Bank\u2019s CSR program, the initiative supports survivors in rebuilding independence, improving access to opportunities, and moving through daily life with greater confidence, dignity, and freedom.
\nSenior leadership from both organizations attended the signing and handover ceremony held in Lahore, acknowledging the fact that mobility remains one of the critical challenges faced by women in the country. For many survivors rebuilding their lives after traumatic experiences, the ability to pursue education, employment, healthcare, and social engagement heavily depends on their access to safe and reliable transportation.
\nPremised on compassion and social responsibility, the partnership channels the bank\u2019s social investment into a tangible, long-term asset for beneficiaries, thereby enabling them to commute independently, access opportunities, and participate fully in daily life.
\nThe bank opted for electric scooters over conventional vehicles to generate environmental benefits while advancing social inclusion, reflecting its broader commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Head of Strategy & Sustainability, Khowla Shoaib, said, \u201cWomen at DSF have shown immense strength in rebuilding their lives. While we cannot change what they have endured, we can help remove barriers that limit their independence.
\nThrough sustainable mobility, Mobilink Bank is supporting greater access to education, employment, healthcare, and everyday opportunities, helping women move forward on their own terms.\u201d
\nSpeaking at the ceremony, Musarrat Misbah, Founder and President of Depilex Smileagain Foundation, said, \u201cAt DSF, we believe true rehabilitation is about restoring independence and opportunity. Mobility is a critical part of that journey.
\nThrough this partnership with Mobilink Bank, women survivors will have greater freedom to access work, education, and everyday opportunities as they rebuild their lives with dignity.\u201d
\nMobilink Bank\u2019s commitment to ESG-driven growth is reflected in its support for women entrepreneurs and underserved communities through inclusive financial services, capacity-building programs, and sustainability-focused initiatives designed to create meaningful and lasting impact.
\nThe bank\u2019s collaboration with Depilex Smileagain Foundation embodies this commitment by combining survivor rehabilitation with sustainable mobility, helping women rebuild their lives while advancing a more inclusive and environmentally responsible future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
