MTN Rwanda has
officially inaugurated a modern kitchen at GS Bukure in Gicumbi District,
culminating three months of tireless efforts by MTN staff under the Y’elloCare2024
initiative. The cutting-edge facility is set to transform the dining experience
for over 1,500 students, providing them with nutritious meals that will bolster
their well-being and learning capabilities.
The kitchen was
officially handed over to the school by MTN Rwanda's CEO, Mapula Bodibe, who
reiterated the company's commitment to giving back to the community. "At
MTN Rwanda, we believe that investing in education and health is crucial for
the development of our future leaders," Bodibe said.
The YelloCare2024
initiative marks an evolution of the annual 21 Days of Y' ello Care, which has now been expanded to 30 days in celebration of MTN's 30th anniversary. This year’s theme, “Education for
Rural and Remote Communities – Learn Today, Lead Tomorrow,” highlights the
transformative power of education in driving socio-economic growth and
preparing the youth for the future.
MTN Y’ello Care is a group-wide
employee volunteerism programme that enables staff to actively engage in
community development projects across MTN’s operating countries. Since its
inception in 2007, the initiative has impacted millions of people and hundreds
of communities across the continent.
