MOBILINK FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS

Pakistan is encountering one of the worst natural disasters in its history in the shape of
devastating floods. In this difficult time, millions of our brothers and sisters immediately need
our help and support. Together, Mobilink and Orascom Telecom has committed more than Rs.
236 million towards flood relief in addition to contributing thousands of volunteer hours. This to
date is one of the largest relief initiatives from the private sector.
Mobilink has been recognized by the Overseas Investor’s Chamber of Commerce and Industries
(OICCI) as top donor in flood relief amongst member companies. Mobilink has donated
prefabricated sheets worth Rs. 140 million to WHO which will be used as Health Units across
Pakistan. In addition to these shelters, Mobilink with the support of Orascom Telecom Holding
has committed a comprehensive relief-package, worth Rs. 85 million for the flood affectees.
Additionally, over Rs. 10 million have been raised by Mobilink employees through their
salaries and friends and family; SMS donations, and other private donors.

Our teams have reached more than 16,600 families in far-flung areas including the surroundings
of Multan, Muzaffargarh, Nowshera, Layyah, Charsadda, Swat, Thatta, Sukkur, D.I.
Khan as well as smaller towns and villages across Pakistan. We are now providing dry food
rations such as flour, oil and lentils as well as non-food items including towels, kitchen utensils
and hygiene kits to facilitate the rehabilitation process. We hope to further enhance these efforts
with your support.

EXPANSION OF SMS-BASED LITERACY INITIATIVE

Mobilink has announced the expansion of the SMS-based literacy project in partnership with
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Launched last year with a view to reshaping lives through connectivity, the SMS-based literacy
program is a joint venture between Mobilink and UNESCO with a local NGO, Bunyad as the
implementing partner. 

The 5 month pilot project conducted with 250 adolescent girls in Punjab has shown a marked
improvement in their skills and has managed to overcome the socio-cultural barriers traditionally
associated with owning a cell phone. The President and CEO, Rashid Khan announced to
expansion of the program to include another 1,000 girls to understand the impact of replicating
the project on a larger scale.

In the pilot, the 250 learners received interesting and informative text messages daily in Urdu
and were expected to respond. In the second part, the participants were evaluated on a periodic
basis to assess gains in knowledge and learning. The program was conducted with the help of 10
teachers enlisted by Bunyad.
It was found that at the beginning of the program 57% of the girls were graded ‘C’ and only 28%
of the girls managed to score an ‘A’. However, near the end of the project the situation reversed
with percentage of girls receiving a ‘C’ dropped to only 11% whereas more than 60% of the girls
were awarded an ‘A’.

The program teachers also report a stark improvement in the confidence of the young girls as
owning a mobile phone made a difference to their sense of security.

MOBILINK SUPPORTS IDPS

Mobilink has always been at the forefront in helping the community by reaching out to lend a
helping hand. Holding true to this commitment it has recently supported the Internally Displaced
Persons of Swat.

On June 5 2009, Mobilink established a Mobilink Camp at Kund, Nowshera to support 1,000
families, i.e. roughly 7,000 IDPs. Camp Establishment included provision of the following:

 Shelter

 Food

 Health and Hygiene

 Non Food items such as kitchen utensils,  etc

 Water and Sanitation

 Education and Recreation

Estimated at about Rs 81 million, the project was made possible by Orascom’s continued support
for this noble cause. This is the largest private sector commitment of its kind to date for IDPs
relief.

In line with Mobilink’s tradition of employee volunteerism, a team of Mobilink employees was
personally involved in various areas of camp management, procurement of items and other
requirements.
PINK RIBBON

An exemplary CSR initiative has already been taken by Mobilink in the awareness of breast
cancer. Mobilink has been actively promoting Pink Ribbon Breast Awareness Campaign since
2008 and in last two years Mobilink has educated over 250 female employees about breast
cancer by regularly hosting Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Seminars in Mobilink offices
across Pakistan.

Mobilink has not only supported Pink Ribbon Campaign to spread awareness among their female
employees but they have gone extra mile by promoting the Breast Awareness Campaign to their
customer base as well. Each year Mobilink sends flyers to its customers inserted in their bills in
hopes of spreading breast cancer awareness to a much wider audience. Mobilink also contributes
towards Pink Ribbon fund raising campaigns by frequently purchasing their merchandise on Pink
Ribbon seminars.

We need more of socially responsible companies like Mobilink to come forward and support
health related campaigns in our country. With this aim, let us all join hands to promote Pink
Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and many other health campaigns of such like to
ensure a healthy Pakistan. Let us declare this year be the Pink year for Pakistan. Let us dedicate
