Asiacell also contributed IQD50m to the national campaign supporting widows and orphans, which was launched during Eid under the supervision of Iraq's General Secretariat for the Council of Ministers, as part of the programs that the company is involved in.

These two initiatives spring from Asiacell's deep sense of responsibility, as the largest private Iraqi company, towards its country and its fellow Iraqis.

Commenting on this step, Mr. Faruk Mustafa Rasool, Asiacell's founder and Chairman of the Board, stated:
"We believe that this program constitutes an important component in our long-term efforts in reinforcing Iraq's economic infrastructure. We are not unaware of the social aspects that directly concern Iraq's citizens, particularly in the face of the current challenges and difficulties that the country is facing. We look forward to a bright future characterized by high living standards for all Iraqis."


It is worth mentioning that Asiacell is considered the largest private Iraqi company and the first GSM mobile telecommunications company to offer service coverage for all of Iraq. Established in 1999 to provide the most advanced GSM mobile telecommunications technology and services, Asiacell's goals are centered on helping strengthen the economic infrastructure in Iraq on several levels.

The company's activities and community programs are built on Asiacell's acute awareness of its corporate responsibility towards the Iraqi people, and its goal in creating a unified society characterized by stability and improved living standards.
