Airtel,
Ghana’s fastest growing telecommunication company, has stepped up its 12 days
of giving by supporting the Moore Foundation and contributed to the surgery of
a face tumour patient as part of its ongoing employee led 12 Days of Giving
initiative.
Sixteen
year old Albert Aba, an SHS 2 student of the Adidome Senior High School in the
Volta region, has been suffering from a tumour on the
right side of his face over the last 14 years.
This intervention from the change-maker company will contribute to the cost of
a surgery to remove the tumour and give the brilliant Albert the opportunity to
realize his full potential.
The Moore Foundation, an NGO that
supports families with children suffering from cancer was the fourth
beneficiary of Airtel’s 12 Days of Giving. The Foundation was nominated by an
employee of Airtel who recommended the work of the Foundation to be supported
by the ongoing campaign.
