Friesland Campina Engro Pakistan Limited (FCEPL) – a leading dairy company in Pakistan and its employees celebrated World Milk Day with students across multiple cities in Pakistan as part of their ongoing mission to Nourish Pakistan. , Employees from FCEPL spent a day with students at schools including the RAAST School in Karachi and community schools in Sahiwal and Sukkur to talk to them about the long-term health benefits of drinking milk every day for school going children.
Awareness sessions like these with students are essential in Pakistan where nearly 10 million children suffer from stunting and 40% of children under the age of 5 have acute malnourishment which does not only impact their physical growth but also poses serious hindrance in their mental growth. Drinking a glass of milk alone can provide 7 out of 12 daily required nutrients, helping us fight the malnourishment battle in the country.
“Our future generations’ wellbeing relies heavily on a quality diet, and safe milk is the cornerstone of this discussion. A well-informed society knows the value of sourcing and consuming safe, quality milk, which leads to a healthy, prosperous future” said Kashan Hasan – Managing Director & CEO FCEPL.
This was further emphasized by the Marketing Director, Sarah Sadiq, who said “We strive to provide the nation with safe and hygienic milk that preserves the quality and nutrients in the milk to ensure that every glass that reaches our consumers remains in its purest form. Our mission is not only to Nourish Pakistan but also to ensure maximum accessibility to safe and pure milk”.
The company further carried out milk distribution drives in schools across Punjab in collaboration with the Pakistan Dairy Association to extend their reach to more students in the country.
Friesland Campina Engro Pakistan Limited is one of Pakistan’s dairy production companies, with extensive focus on providing high-nutrition, safe, and affordable milk to all communities across the country.
