The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has partnered with global transportation provider Aramex for its logistical requirements in promoting its Corporate Cards campaign 2010. The “Cards Full of Life” campaign is aimed at raising funds through the sales of greeting cards to achieve UNICEF’s objectives in providing child survival and development, education, children’s rights, and healthcare.

As part of the new agreement, Aramex will expand the scope of its current express arrangement to include free-of-charge service for all outbound domestic and international consignments of UNICEF's Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Dubai offices. Aramex will also handle delivery of UNICEF’s card orders within the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as well as inbound delivery of cards from Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to Dubai.

Dr. Ayman Abu Laban, UNICEF Representative in the Gulf said, "The support of a strong partner, such as Aramex, has been crucial to the success of our initiatives in support of the children of the region. The nature of UNICEF’s operations means that our requirements are often time-sensitive and necessitate excellent reach to the citizens of the region who are likely to support UNICEF's action to promote children rights.

“Over the years, Aramex has built a strong and successful relationship with UNICEF, one that is founded on a shared commitment to social development and sustainability,” said Hussein Hachem, Aramex Chief Executive Officer for the Middle East and Africa. “The extension of our collaboration with UNICEF is in recognition of these common goals, and in our belief that we can accomplish a lot more through sustained and closer engagement.”

The Corporate Cards collection comprises a range of specially designed cards suitable for all seasons. Buyers can choose from an array of multi-lingual greetings or customize their cards with company logos and messages. The catalog can be viewed on www.unicef.org/gao.
