MTN INVESTS GH¢2MILLION IN HEALTH/EDUCATION (PAGE 40, MARCH 22, 2010)

MTN Ghana has invested over GH¢2 million in education and health projects in the country in the two years of the establishment of the MTN Foundation.
The Corporate Services Executive of MTN Ghana, Mrs Mawuena Trebarh, announced this at the launch of the company’s external newsletter and a government and regulatory relations news bulletin in Takoradi.
She said through the foundation, the company had transformed the lives of many people in the communities, adding that education and health projects had been the benchmark of many companies.
Mrs Trebarh said the MTN Foundation was another area of sustaining the company’s commitment to national development.
She said being an African multinational company, it had informed decisions such as its consistent support for major festivals in the country to sustain the traditions and values of the people.
Mrs Trebarh stated that the MTN Group had announced that the company continued to lead the telecommunication industry locally and across Africa and the Middle East with innovative customer centre products.
She said the MTN Group’s revenue increased by 9.2 per cent in earnings before interest, tax and depreciation by 6.7 per cent for the year ended 31 December, 2009.
Mrs Trebarh stated that MTN Ghana continued to lead the industry since it recognised that its success was due to the loyalty and goodwill of its subscribers and stakeholders in the country.
“We constantly reward our loyal subscribers and continue to look for ways of deepening our partnership and relationships with our customers,” she added.
She said the publications had a goal to help enhance public knowledge about telecommunications and the importance of ICT innovation.
Mrs Trebarh said the publications would be an important tool not only for promoting the company’s business but also to create more opportunities for free exchange of information between the reading public and MTN.
