Soni's Philanthropy
Sam Motors
and its parent company Bloomstar strive to recognize and support
the communities in which we work and live. We have donated 5% of
our profits to charitable projects in our countries of operation
since our founding some 75 years ago. It's just one way of
sharing our success to help those in need. Sam sponsors and
participates each year in many programs to benefit people in
Bangkok, Karachi, Dubai, Singapore and Surin. Doing business
with us means doing good for others and the environment.
Bloomstar
was actively involved in helping people affected with tsunami in all the
countries of its operation. Sam Quraishi personally supervised the
project and visited Southern Thailand in the week following the tsunami
to gauge the scale of disaster and determine where our resources could
do the most benefit. He continued the Quraishis' tradition of empowering
communities and focusing not on band-aids but long-term amelioration.
When
earthquake struck Pakistan, Sam Motors provided the first Vigoes that
arrived in hard to reach earthquake region. We emerged as the premier
provider of vehicles to NGOs and IGOs involved with earthquake relief.
Our vehicles were uniquely provisioned to match the rough terrain of the
mountainous areas of Kashmir. We also provided them with tyres and spare
parts that would be needed most so they can keep going with relief work.
We also provided relief by the truckload when it was needed the most in
the 72 hours after the disaster.

Our work with non-profits
We
work with a number of frontline NGOs and are able to provide not
only Right Hand Drive vehicles but also converted LHD and
original Left Hand Drive vehicles to any port of the world. Sam Motors and Bloomstar were at the forefront of relief efforts
after South East Asian Tsunami and Pakistani earthquake.
NGOs
have the advantage of centralizing all their purchasing in
multiple countries of operation. Thailand made quality 4x2s
and 4x4s are ideal for NGO work in Asia, Africa, Americas
and the Islands and since new Thai diesel vehicles are the
cheapest anywhere in the world NGOs can use the money they
save for their primary mission.
We have emerged as a strategic partner to NGOs, GOs, IGOs
and UN agencies doing important work in developing countries all
over the world. Our 97 years of experience in Asia gives us an
intimate familiarity with the landscape and the unique requirements
of different terrains. This is why we are able to pinpoint brands
and models of trucks, pickups, SUVs, cars and motorcycles that are
right for a particular country's circumstances. We think ahead and
provide you with spare parts and extra tires to keep you going in
the roughest of terrains.
If you
are planning a project in a new country, we would be able to
advise you on what kind of vehicles with what specifications
would bit the bill. Tsunami
and earthquake came unannounced yet we were ready when they were
done wreaking their havoc to support our brethren in distress.
Our Emergency Response Teams spring into action whenever a
disaster strikes in our regions of operation. This is why our
vehicles - uniquely provisioned for the area - were the first to
arrive in these regions. You can count on us to get you the help
needed when you need it and as you need it in the most difficult
of circumstances.
We realize that non-profit organizations have to work
in some of world's least accessible places and breakdowns are a part of life.
You want to k9i8get that badly needed spare parts right then and there and Sam will get it there when you need it as you need it.
We can turn your vehicles into ambulances or armoured
vehicles according to your requirements. We put together a package of vehicles
that costs the less without sacrificing quality, the only thing we sacrifice is
our profit. Our presence in all automotive markets, our worldwide relationships
with manufacturers and suppliers and our purchasing clouts give us considerable
flexibility in sourcing vehicles at the cheapest possible price.
