MTN Rwanda has announced the launch of its
“We’re Good Together” initiative, derived from the MTN Global
Campaign launched earlier in October in South Africa. It aims to demonstrate
that MTN has changed lives by improving digital access, driving financial
inclusion, empowering and enabling SMEs, and creating jobs and broad community
development.
Speaking about MTN’s role in Rwanda, MTN
Rwanda CEO, Mitwa Ng’ambi said, “MTN believes in creating shared value that
enables shared prosperity, but we can’t do this on our own – we continue to
seek out like-minded partners so that we can do good together. We see ourselves
as a partner to the development of Rwanda, so whatever it is we do, we ensure
it has a long-lasting impact in our society.”
MTN seeks to tell relate that doing good
business extends far beyond corporate social investment initiatives. Over the
last 21 years, MTN Rwanda has built high-speed networks covering 3.8 million
people, created jobs for over 31,000 people and through MTN Mobile Money,
connected 2.5 million people to the benefits of easy, cost-effective mobile
financial services across the country. MTN Rwanda has also enabled access to
education through its ICT-School Connect Projects with the goal of promoting
and enabling digital teaching and learning.
