CSR-Airtel calls for nominations

Published by

Telecommunications services provider, Airtel Nigeria, has called for nominations for  its award-winning Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Airtel Touching Lives, as a way flagging off the fourth edition of the initiative.

Airtel Touching Lives, which is aimed at promoting the culture of giving among Nigerians, seeks to uplift the downtrodden and offer useful support to less privileged people across the country.

Since the commencement of the programme in 2015, Airtel has provided practical help for thousands of Nigerians as well as communities and groups.

Expressing the company’s commitment to helping the less-privileged in the society,  its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Segun Ogunsanya, described such gesture as in  line with the company’s vision of creating empowerment opportunities and making life better for Nigerians.

“Together, we all can make our society a better place if we join hands and collaborate to uplift the downtrodden around us,” he said.

He urged Nigerians to participate in the fourth edition of the Touching Lives programme by nominating causes and persons who require help.

One of the  highlights in Season 3 of Airtel Touching Lives was the story of Olusegun Aina family, who lost three children and were rendered homeless by a devastating fire incident. Through the Touching Lives platform, Airtel built and donated a multi-million naira, ultra-modern two-bedroom apartment for the family and also paid for all outstanding medical bills incurred by the surviving family members.
