LAHORE: Mobilink Bank has launched a social investment initiative in collaboration with the Depilex Smileagain Foundation, providing 25 electric scooters to female survivors of acid and kerosene burn violence.
Introduced under the Bank’s CSR programme, the initiative supports survivors in rebuilding independence, improving access to opportunities, and moving through daily life with greater confidence, dignity and freedom.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday, the senior leadership from both organisations attended the signing and handover ceremony in Lahore. The bank opted for electric scooters over conventional vehicles to deliver environmental benefits and advance social inclusion.
Speaking on the occasion, Head of Strategy & Sustainability Khowla Shoaib, said, “Women 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. Through sustainable mobility, Mobilink Bank is supporting greater access to education, employment, healthcare and everyday opportunities, helping women move forward on their own terms.”
Speaking at the ceremony, Musarrat Misbah, founder and ;president of Depilex Smileagain Foundation, said, “At DSF, we believe true rehabilitation is about restoring independence and opportunity. Mobility is a critical part of that journey. Through 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.”
