This is expressed through our intervention in education as a key pillar of our CSR programme. Through our School Adoption programme, we invest in infrastructure, teaching and learning materials to drive improvements in education across the country. This year, we are happy to be collaborating with the Rotary Club of Tema to do these donations. As a socially responsible company, our commitment to support schools in communities that we operate in and education in general will continue to be a key pillar in our CSR programmes”.
