Telecom giant MTN and Hellofood have entered into a partnership to organize an annual Christmas party for underprivileged children. On the 19th of December 2015, children from dwelling places such as Sasco, St. Noah and Happy times were picked up from their premises and taken to the MTN arena in Lugogo. They played games, ate and drunk, got gifts from Santa and MTN’s Bando man and were later dropped back to their respective homes.
Hellofood also introduced a platform for its customers to donate money for the needy. From the 19th of December to the 19th of March 2016, the company will be collecting customers’ donations and the proceeds will go towards feeding disadvantaged children.
One can donate through clicking on the hellofood app or website using MTN mobile money and at the end of the campaign, the company will purchase food items for orphanages in and around Kampala.
Ron Kawamara, the Managing Director hellofood Uganda said, “We have a responsibility not just to our customers but we also want the underprivileged to have a decent Christmas meal. We have done this with all the holidays and this year we are proud to partner with MTN not only for this event but also on the feed a child campaign that will go on to raise millions for those in need.
