MTN Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to preserving Ghanaian culture and supporting community development by donating towards this year’s La Homowo Festival.
At a brief ceremony in Accra, the telecommunications giant presented GH¢20,000 in cash, airtime worth GH¢1,000, and hampers of assorted drinks to the La Traditional Council to aid the celebration of the festival.
The donation was made by the Chief Customer Experience Officer of MTN Ghana, Jemima Kotei Walsh, who emphasized that the gesture underscored the company’s long-standing relationship with the people of La.
“Our support for La Homowo over the years has grown beyond partnership; it has become a bond. We truly appreciate the La Traditional Council for the warm relationship, trust, and collaboration we continue to enjoy,” she said.
She added that MTN values Homowo not just for its cultural significance but also for the values it promotes—unity, togetherness, and development—principles that align with the company’s mission of connecting families, friends, and businesses.
“By supporting festivals, we not only sustain culture but also contribute to social and economic growth. That is why MTN proudly supports more than 40 festivals across the country,” she noted.
On behalf of the La Traditional Area, La Shikitele, Nii Adjei Koofeh IV, expressed appreciation to MTN Ghana for its continued assistance.
“The La Traditional Council and the chiefs and people of La are very grateful to MTN for their support. Every year they come to stand with us.
“We pray that their business continues to grow, that they gain more subscribers, and that their workers and management enjoy blessings, strength, and good health from the Almighty and our ancestors,” he said.
As part of this year’s festivities, MTN will also set up sales stands at strategic locations to provide easy access to its products and services.
Customers will be educated on MoMo fraud prevention and digital safety as part of the outreach.
