Mobitel took its ‘We care. Always’ pledge a step further by organizing its 16th ‘Eye clinic project’ on 27th May.

Demonstrat­ing its social responsibi­lity commitment to the nation, this impactful initiative was conducted for the benefit of the elderly population across the country.

Free eye check-ups and consultati­on were provided for Mobitel customers on a monthly basis at different location across the island. The initiative donates free spectacles to over 1000 customers with the need for a better vision every month, thereby enhancing their vision and empowering them in their daily lives.

Up to now, Mobitel’s eye clinic has enhanced the vision of over 16,000 of its customers from economical­ly underprivi­leged background­s, who would not otherwise be able to access such an opportunit­y. This project was initiated under the direction of the senior management and CEO. It is conducted in conjunctio­n with the Cash Bonanza Montero Extravagan­za event and will continue throughout 2017. Mobitel intends to spend Millions of rupees on this worthy project because of the tangible benefits it is giving to the beneficiar­ies.
