Yango empowers women partner drivers & couriers with conference and charitable donation

In addition to the conference, Yango also demonstrated their commitment to giving back to the community by visiting the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital to pay for and discharge patients who have recovered but cannot afford to settle their bills.

The conference featured a diverse range of speakers, including successful women entrepreneurs, industry experts, and leaders in the transport sector such as Roberta Ayalingo (CFO of WAHU Mobility Ltd), Nana Afua Serwaa Edusei (Shecanic) and Dzigbordi Akosua Agbenyo (Gender Advocate). Attendees had the opportunity to participate in interactive presentations from the speakers on topics such as personal safety, customer service, and career advancement.

"We are proud to celebrate International Women's Day by hosting this Women In Transport Conference and supporting the healthcare needs of our community," said Mr. Ofonime Tom, General Manager of Yango Ghana. "At Yango, we believe in the power of women in the tech and transport industries and are committed to creating opportunities for them to succeed. We are also honored to be able to contribute to the well-being of our community by assisting those in need."

In partnership with leading fuel company Star Oil , Yango presented fuel vouchers to the participating female drivers and couriers in appreciation of their commitment and hard work. This was also aimed at reducing their fuel costs and supporting them in executing their daily activities on the road.

"At Star Oil, we're driven by a passion for excellence, harnessing cutting-edge technology to enhance efficiency and provide unmatched service at competitive prices. This is very much aligned with Yango’s vision. As fuel leaders to the ride-hail sector, we're committed to offering a distinctive experience.

On their part, the beneficiary partner drivers and couriers were grateful to Yango for this initiative and pledged to rise above the stereotype that ride hailing and courier services are exclusive to men. They committed to breaking barriers and succeeding in their chosen field of endeavor.

Margaret Nabila Mbama , a female partner driver who spoke on behalf of the female partner drivers and couriers said "We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this conference. It was inspiring to see so many powerful and successful women in the industry. We are all proud to be part of this community and will work even harder to make a positive impact in our roles as partner drivers and couriers."

The kind gesture at the Korle-Bu teaching hospital saw Yango pay for and discharge a good number of women patients from both the Trauma & Orthopedic and Maternity Wards. The discharged patients were driven safely to their various homes by the women partner drivers after the exercise.

Speaking about the humanitarian gesture by Yango, The Principal Midwifery Officer at the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Korle-Bu teaching hospital, Mrs. Elizabeth Fremah Amoa Asare said "We are deeply grateful for Yango's generous gesture in paying for the medical bills of these female patients and new mothers. This act of kindness will make a significant difference in their lives and we are truly thankful for the support. We encourage more institutions to embark on such journeys with us to help make the lives of these women better and comfortable."
