In response to the devastating floods that struck Pakistan from June to October 2022, Empower Foundation took a compassionate step to aid affected communities. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Foundation organized a donation drive and fundraiser to support flood victims.
The initiative unfolded across Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad – where 10Pearls offices served as hubs for a bake sale and funfair. Team members orchestrated engaging activities and set up food stalls offering homemade treats and refreshing drinks. The effort resulted in a remarkable collection of over PKR 150,000, with all proceeds generously matched by Empower Foundation.
“When individuals unite, great things happen. I am proud to contribute to the fundraising efforts to provide assistance and relief to flood victims. This initiative shows us the power of coming together and supporting each other in times of adversity.” – Wajahat Ahmed, Staff Software Engineer, 10Pearls
In addition to the bake sale and funfair, Empower Foundation conducted a donation drive among 10Pearls team members, garnering an immediate and impressive response. The Foundation donated one million rupees to Sahil Welfare Association. This contribution, fueled by a generous Rs 500,000 from donors, was effectively doubled by Empower Foundation, amplifying the support for those in need. Sahil Welfare Association channeled these funds into on-ground flood relief efforts.
Empower Foundation’s multifaceted approach, combining the bake sale, funfair, and donation drive, exemplifies the power of collective effort and compassion. It is a testament to the profound impact that can be achieved when communities unite for a noble cause.
