The MTN Foundation has put smiles on the
faces of about 1,500 kids in 36 institutions across the country. Each
establishment was gifted foodstuff and baby care products, reports ITRealms.
According to Dennis Okoro, Director, MTN
Foundation, “the provision of basic living amenities and consumables to the
less privileged is critical to the growth and development of our country. We
are passionate about this and that is what these initiatives are about, making
life better for the children of this great nation”.
The management of the homes visited
expressed their gratitude for MTN Foundation’s care, which they described as
timely and uplifting.
MTN Foundation Director, Mrs Mosun
Bello-Olusoga noted that “Children’s homessuch as these typically have a hard
time sourcing funds. We all need to do our part, we all need to do more.
Moments like these give us the opportunity to step out, reach out and show
love.”
During each visit, MTN staff and representatives
of the Foundation spent time with the children, talking about life, interests
and inspirations as well as playing with the kids.
“These are very special places with very
special children. Bursting with ideas, kids are such great dreamers not bound
by perceived limitations. They are so full of love, children are an inspiration
to us all! I am grateful and honoured to have been part of this,” said Adekemi
Adisa, a General Manager in MTN’s Human Resources Division.
