MTN Ghana staff donate to Street Academy

MTN Ghana staff members have demonstrated their commitment to community support by donating GH¢10,000 and a variety of essential items to the Street Academy in Accra. This initiative, which celebrated birthdays of staff from January to May, is a key part of MTN's annual 'Y'ello Care' program.

The donation included not only a significant financial contribution but also practical items such as exercise books and snacks, aimed at directly benefiting the children housed at the academy. The Street Academy provides a vital service, offering sports and cultural activities to street children and other vulnerable youth in Accra.

This donation was funded by MTN Ghana staff that celebrated their birthdays from January to May this year. It is also part of our Y’ello Care celebration.

Mr. Abdallah Ibrahim, General Manager HR Operation and Analysis at MTN Ghana, highlighted the gesture's purpose: to bring joy to the children and bolster the academy's efforts in providing specialized care. He emphasized that the funding originated from the staff themselves, reflecting a collective desire to make a positive impact.

Dr. Ataa Lartey, Executive Director of the Street Academy, expressed profound thanks for the donation and MTN's consistent support over the years. He noted the importance of such contributions in helping the academy manage its demanding operations and acknowledged MTN's previous assistance in rehabilitating the facility nine years prior. The long-standing relationship between MTN Ghana and the Street Academy underscores a shared dedication to empowering young lives.

I believe this will go a long way in helping the management of the academy to meet the tough demands on management. We thank you for being there for us. It’s a good gesture after helping us rehabilitate our structure nine years ago.
