MTN closes Yellow Care

Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) Ghana has rounded up the 21days of Y’ello Care challenge programme, which made its staff to engage in various activities in communities across the country.
Speaking at the closing ceremony on Wednesday, the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer, Mr. Eben Albertyn, commended the company’s staff for their cooperation, in taking part in the programme.
According to him, MTN was very interested in executing its social responsibilities, hence their decision to establish the MTN Foundation, which was aimed at assisting communities in which they operate.
“While there is a corporate external focus on corporate social responsibility activities, through MTN Ghana Foundation activities, 21 Days of Y’ello Care Challenge was instituted as an MTN internal activity, that seeks to encourage employees of MTN in Ghana, and across its global operations, to become personally involved in community-development projects,” he said.
He listed some of the activities undertaken by staff, during the period, including painting, landscaping of schools, selected by the Ghana Education Service, and health walk.
The Corporate Services Executive of MTN Ghana, Mawuena Dumor, observed that there had been improvement on the various activities, adding that they recorded a total of 806 staff participating, representing 52.3%, which comprised 16 projects and 45 activities, compared to 254 staff for last year.
She indicated that MTN recognized the employees, and all partners, as the key to the success of the company.
