ETA Star partners with Red Crescent Authority for the 'Home for the Homeless' programme

Any property purchased from ETA Star and its joint venture partners Hircon and Star Giga during the Holy month of Ramadan will result in one per cent of the total sales value being donated to the RCA who in turn will build houses for the needy.

This cooperation between ETA Star and its joint venture partners Hircon and Star Giga with the RCA is expected to help thousands of needy families living around the world.

Commenting on this initiative with the RCA, Mr. Abid Junaid, Executive Director of ETA Star said,

"ETA Star is pleased to be associated with RCA on this campaign. Our mission is to adopt the cause of providing homes to the homeless, especially to those who live under inhuman conditions."

He further added, "This campaign has specially been adopted during the holy month of Ramadan as it symbolizes the 'month of giving'. We are certain that our customers shall support us in this endeavor and will contribute to the same. At ETA Star, our business is 'built on trust'. We are glad that our joint venture partners have also come forward to support us in an initiative that we believe may change lives of several people."

The RCA will use the donations to fulfill the basic needs of impoverished people by gifting a home to them and giving a sense of security to those who have been continuously been effected by rising global unemployment, poverty and selfish political agendas.
