CSR drive at KPMG in Pakistan
Saving lives in Pakistan
The involvement from KPMG in Pakistan and around 120 of its staff members towards a blood donation initiative received praise from officials. The following an extract from the note received shortly after the initiative.
“blood donation is the act of giving life. Your blood could save anyone from a little baby to an older individual. One cannot make blood, it is a gift we all have inside of us to give to those who are injured, sick, or in need. There's no doubt that the need is huge. However, the support of donors like you is helping the people of society in achieving a healthier, happier and fruitful life.”
