Al-Ghazi Tractors Brightens Lives of Young Patients with Toy Drive at Mayo Hospital
Lahore — In a rare and moving show of corporate empathy, Al-Ghazi Tractors Limited has partnered with ChildLife Foundation to deliver more than just medical aid to children at Mayo Hospital. This time, it was joy—wrapped in the form of toys.
Bringing smiles to a place where pain often dominates the atmosphere, employees from across Al-Ghazi’s departments rallied together to donate over 100 toys to the hospital’s pediatric emergency ward. From cuddly stuffed animals to board games and puzzles, the gifts were thoughtfully selected to help ease the anxiety of young patients facing difficult medical treatments.
Leadership Steps In—Literally
The delivery wasn’t outsourced or impersonal. Al-Ghazi Tractors’ CEO Sakib Eltaff, joined by members of the leadership team, personally handed out the toys during a visit to the emergency ward. Their presence was more than symbolic—it sent a strong message that the company’s leadership sees social responsibility as a top-down priority, not a checkbox on a CSR report.
“At Al-Ghazi, giving back isn’t a PR stunt—it’s a principle,” said Eltaff during the visit. “Supporting our communities, especially children in distress, is part of who we are as an organization.”
Toys as Tools of Healing
While medical treatment addresses the physical, emotional healing is often overlooked. Pediatric care specialists at the hospital noted a visible shift in the children’s moods—smiles replacing fear, laughter echoing through the corridors. These seemingly simple toys acted as instruments of emotional relief, proving once again that kindness can complement clinical care in meaningful ways.
Experts have long emphasized that mental and emotional well-being can accelerate recovery, especially among young patients. Al-Ghazi’s toy drive became a living example of this principle in action.
Teamwork with Purpose
The initiative was made possible through a company-wide effort, with employees contributing not just money or items, but genuine care. The event also spotlighted the critical work being done by ChildLife Foundation, which continues to provide vital emergency care for children in public hospitals across Pakistan.
By collaborating with such an impactful organization, Al-Ghazi Tractors positioned itself not just as an industrial leader, but as a socially conscious corporate citizen that’s willing to invest in the nation’s future—one child at a time.
More Than Machines
Al-Ghazi Tractors may be known for powering Pakistan’s agriculture, but this initiative showed that its real horsepower might just lie in its heart. With this toy donation drive, the company has made it clear: compassion isn’t just good business—it’s the right thing to do.
