Yes, MTN Group not MTN Nigeria Hits 200m Subscribers in 22 Countries

MTN Group has marked its 200 million subscriber milestone by announcing a bold R200 million initiative to improve the quality of education across its markets in Africa and the Middle East over the next two years.

MTN reaching the 200 million subscriber mark comes a year before it celebrates 20 years of connecting people and economies, from South Africa - the launch pad - to South Sudan, its most recent market. 

As a multinational telecommunications company operating in emerging markets, MTN has a particular opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to social development, said Sifiso Dabengwa, President and CEO, MTN Group.

“Due to the lack of access to quality education and infrastructure, and low literacy rates in most of these countries, MTN has chosen to direct a significant amount of its corporate social (CSI) spend towards education over the next two year. This will provide people with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to make positive decisions about their lives,” said Dabengwa.

MTN runs a comprehensive multi-country CSI programme through MTN Foundations spanning education, health and other national priorities.
