\u2018Brighten Your Community\u2019 initiative is a national campaign and all MTN customers are eligible to participate.<\/p>\n

According to her, the \u2018Brighten Your Community\u2019 initiative will be heavily driven on MTN\u2019s social media handles, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Foundation is devoting an amount of GHC750,000 to be invested in the three focus areas of the Foundation which are Education, Health and Economic Empowerment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that \u201cthe three communities which come tops at the end of the competition will be allocated GHC 250,000 each to implement the projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers are to choose a project starting 2nd December 2019 to 9th December 2019 on MTG Ghana Social Media handles.<\/p>\n

\u201d We believe this initiative will further delight our customers and brighten their corners,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

MTN Ghana declared 2019 as \u2018Year of the Customer.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are taking this unique and participatory approach because this year has been declared \u2018Year of the Customer\u2019 and as an innovative brand, the board has given approval to involve our customers and give them the opportunity to directly choosing a project they want implemented in a community of their choice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that \u201cjust to explain further, most of the projects the Foundation implements comes from the community and we respond based on its linkage with our focus areas and the impact it will have. However this Brighten the region project encourage more participation of more people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers are expected to vote three regions from the top three communities.<\/p>\n
