Bestway Wholesale has begun immediate fundraising support for the victims of the devastating floods in Pakistan that are continuing to batter towns and cities.
The wholesaler has roots firmly in the country and is working with the Bestway Foundation by collecting funds through depot collections and JustGiving.com. The Foundation intends to work closely with world charities on the ground and deliver aid to those that need it the most through its support networks in Pakistan.
Bestway Group, the country’s leading foreign investor, has announced financial and material support to the people of Pakistan of US$1m. The Group currently owns the United Bank Limited (the 2nd largest private bank in Pakistan) and Bestway Cement (the 2nd largest cement manufacturer in Pakistan).
