1,500 Orphans, Others Benefit From Huawei Charity Project

Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, co-organized Happy Christmas Celebration for orphans and the less privileged with  NUNGTSO  Charity Foundation(NCF) in Abuja.

During the event 300 children from several orphanages in Nigeria converged on Abuja on recently to participate in this year’s Christmas celebration.

The event holding at the Chinese Culture Centre is part of Huawei’s strong corporate social responsibility to the Nigerian society and in solidarity with Children and the less privileged around the country.

Mr. Osita Iweze, deputy managing director, Huawei Abuja Office, said the event which is solely supported by Huawei is coming for the 3rd year running as a symbol of the company’s commitment to the community especially during the Christmas celebration.

Earlier this year, June precisely, Huawei and NCF had organized a Happy Children’s Day celebration in Abuja for about 200 orphans.

NUNGTSO charity Foundation, according to Mrs. Evang Jerusha Danladi Kifasi, its founder has established a strategic partnership with Huawei since 2010 to support the local community. It is stated that an amount of 12.5 million Naira has been donated by Huawei so far and more than 1,500 orphans and the less privileged have benefited from this kind behavior.

Meanwhile Iweze said supporting local community is one of Huawei’s global CSR strategies. Besides this, Huawei is also committed to bridging the digital divide in Nigeria by providing more than 5,000 training opportunities to telecom engineers and by setting up the ICT scholarship in University of Lagos.

Technology transferring is another key CSR strategy and a 1,000 girls training program is being implemented by Huawei. 

As an ICT solutions provider, Huawei entered the Nigerian market 14 years ago and has added consistent and continuous value to the local telecoms and ICT market since then. Now Huawei has been the preferred ICT solutions provider in Nigeria with leading market share.
