In fulfilling its commitment to improving the quality of lives in communities, MTN Foundation, the social investment vehicle of MTN Nigeria has launched the third year campaign of the “What Can We Do Together” project, an initiative geared towards developing grassroots communities through collaborative effort.
Its a campaign aimed at supporting schools, health centers, and communities that Nigerians nominated that the MTN Foundation should help.
Reaching over 10 million Nigerians, the previous phases of the campaign, have seen about 400 communities in 347 local government areas benefiting from the initiative with 40 communities receiving 500KVA transformers; and another 40 communities receiving 650ft boreholes. The first two phases also saw the supply of medical equipment to 80 primary healthcare centres; provision of school furniture sets to 174 schools, and household supplies and equipment to 66 orphanages in different communities in Nigeria.
The What Can We Do Together initiative was first launched in 2015 during the MTN Foundation’s 10th year anniversary. The initiative is aimed at complementing the efforts of the Government in empowering grassroots communities in Nigeria with basic social amenities.
