And, especially, its humans. Osae Enoch is a Yango driver who has been driving for the company for one year along the streets of Ghana. He joined the hailing and delivery app almost by chance when a friend recommended it to him. He took a leap of faith and he\u2019s been loyal to Yango ever since, a riding app that gives him a stable income. And now, it has even given him fame. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This specific story begins one evening which had been quiet. A local woman is at home, eating her meal of chicken. Until she swallows a bone by mistake and she starts to choke.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s alone in the house and she isn\u2019t able to reach any of her family members. Terrified, she decides to call a lift with Yango. That\u2019s when Enoch arrives, ready to help her anyway he can. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even this ride happened by chance. After turning down two ride requests, Enoch decides to accept the third ride. He\u2019s tired, he was attacked only one week before, and the connection isn\u2019t working properly. Plus, the passenger isn\u2019t picking up the phone. How could she? She\u2019s choking, but she\u2019s messaging her. She needs help and she can\u2019t talk. At first, the Yango driver was worried this was a trap. Then, she sees her. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Enoch drove her to eight hospitals, even one that was open 24\/7. The emergency rooms can\u2019t help and he speaks for her, since she can\u2019t speak. They keep driving around the city, speeding for hours to reach help. At each clinic, he pleads for doctors to assist her but they get turned down until the eighth hospital gives them assistance. The doctors have to perform surgery on her. One more minute and it would have been too late. After an evening of fear, the rider is ready to go home. She has made it. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is already a fairytale, isn\u2019t it? But there is more. Her family, grateful for the Yango driver, starts looking for him on social media. In fact, Yango prioritizes privacy. The privacy of the drivers and of the riders. There are no private details like phone numbers or emails. The first step was putting a post on social media and that\u2019s when Yango noticed it. Always attentive to customer care and to their drivers\u2019 experiences, the riding app wanted to put these people together. The company gave him clothes and a new phone as a way to thank him. And as a way to give an example and make a statement. Yango is more than a riding app. It\u2019s about human connection, one ride at a time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very grateful for Yango, for their passion and their attention,\u201d said Enoch, \u201cand I\u2019m just as happy to be part of this unique family, a family that cares for each member.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to social media, the family found the driver too. Him, a driver with no living relatives, was becoming part of an international story and even of a local family. Everyone in tears, this was more than a Yango ride. And even the app knows it and it rewarded Enoch for his behavior and his morals. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is the story we all need, every now and then, to remember that there is still good out there. All you have to do to find is ordering a Yango ride.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the good news we all want to read, the positivity that comes from the world.
