Giving Back to Underserved Communities
The donation, which was part of the annual 21 Days of Y’ello Care event, reflects MTN’s dedication to making a meaningful impact beyond its core telecommunications services. Every year, MTN employees volunteer their time and resources to improve the lives of individuals in need. For many of the pupils in Katinguli and Baale, receiving their first school uniforms was a touching and memorable moment.
The gesture not only brought smiles to the children’s faces but also provided a lasting boost to their academic journey. It was especially significant for students who previously had no school uniforms, as it marked a step towards inclusivity and support in their education.
Empowering Communities with Education
The 2025 Y’ello Care theme, “Connecting at the Root: Connecting Communities Through the Use of Digital Tools,” emphasises the power of genuine connections beyond just technology. MTN Ghana believes in creating lasting, meaningful connections by empowering individuals and communities, regardless of their background or location.
Appeals for Improved Infrastructure
The donation also brought attention to critical infrastructural needs at the two schools. Mr. Mohammed Bawa Ziblim, Headteacher of Katinguli R/C Primary School, expressed gratitude on behalf of the school while making a heartfelt appeal for a six-unit classroom block to accommodate students who are currently studying under trees. Mr. Dauda Shani, Headteacher of Baale L/A Primary School, echoed the appeal, requesting a new classroom to replace their makeshift structure.
On behalf of both schools, Mr. Uboi Baabe thanked MTN Ghana for its generous donation and reiterated the urgent need for improved infrastructure to enhance the quality of education in the community.
This donation serves as a reminder of MTN Ghana’s commitment to supporting education and community development in underserved areas, fostering growth and empowerment for future generations.
