Foundation of the mobile company has always been at the forefront to help the nation in critical times and constructing over 60 homes across the country, said a press release issued here Saturday.

Director Public Relations (Mobile Company) Omar Manzur said; "Our aim is to ensure that these new homes will prove to be a secure and comfortable residence for the deserving families.

The structural designs of these homes follow the guidelines of `Provincial Disaster Management Authority' and the beneficiaries were selected on the basis of vulnerability after conducting a thorough field study under the supervision of the local DCOs.

Giving back to the community is a core value , with a commitment to continue making concerted efforts to provide relief to the underprivileged".

Each home consists of one bedroom, rest room and a kitchen, with one foot high reinforced plinth and sturdy concrete pillars to support the structures and enhance flood-resistance.

A team of volunteers personally met the home owners and spent time with the local community, and distributed gifts amongst the children.

In coming weeks, the mobile company will be completing houses in the region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh, which will be handed over to the deserving families with the coordination of local PDMA and DCOs.

Mobile company earlier provided prefabricated shelters worth Rs140 million, to be used as basic health-units while also delivering emergency food supplies, dry food rations, bottled water and other non-food items to far flung areas.
