Airtel has stepped up its 12 days of giving by supporting the Moore Foundation and contributing to the surgery of a face tumour patient as part of its ongoing employee led 12 Days of Giving initiative.

Sixteen year old Albert Aba, a form two student of the Adidome Senior High School in the Volta Region has been suffering from a tumour on the right side of his face over the last 14 years. This intervention from the Changemaker company will contribute to the cost of a surgery to remove the tumour and give the brilliant Albert the opportunity to realise his full potential.

The Moore Foundation, an NGO that supports families with children suffering from cancer was the fourth beneficiary of Airtel’s 12 Days of Giving. The Foundation was nominated by an employee of Airtel who recommended the work of the Foundation to be supported by the ongoing campaign.

Both beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to Airtel Ghana for coming to the aid of the beneficiaries and for its continuous support for worthy causes.

Making the presenting to the Moore Foundation, Tina Muparadzi, Human Resource Director of Airtel remarked, “we are delighted that our employees have taken up such an inspiring and touching initiative to enrich lives and support causes that they truly care about in their communities. At Airtel, we are committed to investing in and supporting worthy causes through our CSR programmes. Through this initiative, we are giving our employees the opportunity to be the change they want to see in their communities”.

“We appreciate the efforts of the Moore Foundation to improve the lives of children with cancer and we believe Albert will go through a successful surgery and be back to school to pursue his dreams.”

The “12 days of Giving” is an initiative led by employees and supported by Airtel to support individuals and charitable causes in communities this festive season as a way to spread the joy of the season. Airtel Ghana supported Mr. Francis Abotsi on the maiden day of the initiative and on the second day, surprised the Adaklu Aboadi Salvation Army School with a Christmas party. The initiative is expected to support similar causes across the country over a 12 day period.
