MTN Group Fintech Partners with Unjani Clinics for Mandela Day
In celebration of Nelson Mandela's legacy of compassion, equity and service, the MTN Group Fintech (MTNGF) launched its Mandela Day initiative under the theme Uplifting Lives Through Care. As part of this commitment to social impact, the MTNGF has partnered with Unjani Clinics, a national network of community-based, nurse-led primary healthcare facilities, to support improved access to basic healthcare and hygiene, including for young women and the elderly in underserved communities. This year's initiative includes the MTNGF donating care packages comprising essential female hygiene products to promote menstrual health, dignity and well-being.
