During the festive season, MTN Ghana Foundation together with its employee volunteers presented 500 hampers to mothers of babies born in 30 hospitals across the 16 regions of Ghana.
Each hamper comprised blankets, diapers, wipes, towels, shawls, bibs, softeners, toiletries, clothes and other baby essentials. In addition to the baby essentials, each mother received GH¢100 worth of airtime; and 400 boxes of latex examination gloves were also donated to some facilities in the regions.
Speaking in Accra, Manager for Sustainability and Social Impact-MTN Ghana Foundation, Mrs. Rhoderlyn Entsua-Mensah, said the donation was part of activities lined up by MTN Ghana Foundation to brighten the lives of mothers during Christma.
“Christmas, as we all know, is a season for showing love and sharing with one another; so, as always, we aim to put smiles on the faces of mothers through these donations,” she added.
