Tigo donates food items to children's homes

Aug. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- The handover ceremony for the donation was held at the Chakuwama, and the food items were presented on behalf of Tigo by the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Officer, Ms Woinde Shisael, and received by Saida Hussein (Mama Hadija) of Chakuwama  and Zaida Nuru of Istiqama.

Sacks of sugar, flour, rice, boxes of juice and gallons of cooking oil were donated to Istiqama.  One of the most immediate needs for Chakuwama is a regular source of electricity. Tigo is pleased to be donating a year’s supply of LUKU to light up their Home.

"During this holy month it is important that we recognise those who are less fortunate,” said Ms Shisael. “Tigo is just as committed to caring for the community as it is in providing its customers with world-class products and services. The food items donated will come in time for the Eid celebrations,” she said.

Ramadan is a month of sharing and helping people in need. It is also a month in which Muslims and other organizations are encouraged to give back to the community.
