In keeping with its corporate social responsibility, MTN Ghana has presented a Christmas package to mothers who gave birth on the 25th and 26th of December 2024 at the Wa Municipal Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital in Jirapa in the Upper West Region.
A team of MTN Staff led by the Upper West Regional Manager of the Telecommunication Network, Seth Owusu Nyamekye, gave the package, which consisted of 30 hampers, to the lucky mothers and their babies at the two health facilities.
Fifteen (15) hampers were distributed in the lying-in-wards of each of the two Hospitals. Some of the items in the gift packs were toys, baby powder, cream, soap, diapers, detol and cot sheets.
Mr Owusu Nyamekye observed that the donation is an annual activity of MTN across the country aimed at giving back to society in tandem with its corporate citizenship.
