The Bestway Group organised a fundraiser for the victims of the Pakistan Floods on 23 September at the Intercontinental Hotel Park Lane, Mayfair. The Bestway Foundation raised more than $2 million through its fundraising efforts.
The event was attended by over 650 guests including the Lord Chancellor, the Deputy Governor State Bank of Pakistan, UK Ministers, Members of Parliament, captains of industry, diplomats and leading city figures - raising over US$ 1 million on the night. The recent floods have affected over 33 million people with 1 in 7 Pakistanis living without food or shelter and 1/3rd of the country is underwater.
Earlier in the month Lord Choudrey on behalf of Sir Anwar Pervez announced a donation of US$1.0 million towards the Pakistan Flood Relief, with the culmination of this successful event the total funds raised through Bestway’s efforts stand at an impressive US$2.0 million.
In addition to the monetary donations, Bestway Group CFO, Haider Choudrey, announced a donation of medicines worth US$400,000 on behalf of Well Pharmacy, a subsidiary of the Bestway Group.
