Volunteering to improve education in Cameroon

21 Days of Y'ello Care is an annual MTN employee volunteer initiative that runs across the Group's operations. The challenge is to secure the highest percentage of employees participating in community care activities with the highest measurable impact. In 2012, MTN Cameroon was the overall winner of the 21 Days of Y'ello Care.

MTN Cameroon's main campaign focused on the refurbishment of several public libraries across five municipal councils, mainly located in rural and underprivileged areas in Cameroon. This included the establishment of an e-library and a nationwide public drive to collect more than 100 000 books for these libraries.

Other initiatives included the construction of a modern school facility to accommodate 400 to 500 pupils and the training of more than 100 farmers on ICT applications.
