Leading smartphone maker, TECNO Nigeria has outlined its various social corporate social investments (CSI) made in Nigeria’s education, entertainment and gender balance and small and medium entrepreneurship in the country this year.

With few days to the end of 2019, TECNO said it has accomplished all that it promised to do, especially in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) department, having truly differentiated its brand in more ways than one.

The company in 2014 through the TECNO Foundation started a children-centered CSR initiative that has ensured that many children from public primary schools across Nigeria won scholarships and many other prizes.

In line with that initiative, the theme on Children’s Day this year was “Give the Nigerian Child A Future”. In the Lagos region, five schools were selected to participate. After an examination to select the best students, scholarships were awarded to five students from each of the schools.

There was also a Children’s Day Party that brought children from over 30 public schools together with plenty of fun and games plus numerous gifts.

Relentlessly, TECNO then got involved in another Get-a-Nigerian-through-school project called AcadaFest Scholarship 2019. Through this initiative, TECNO sponsored 3 deserving students for the duration of their University education.

Like a soldier on a mission, TECNO joined forces with a few other sponsors to celebrate the musical legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. At the event, the smartphone brand made touch points with Nigerians by making the six-day event even more fun filled.

During the course of the festival, a lucky Nigerian got the chance to win a Spark 4, which was the latest device from the brand at the time, and there were also lots of gift up for grabs.

This year’s International Women’s day sought to encourage gender balance around the world. To lend a voice to the credible course, TECNO partnered with The University of Lagos’Radio Station, Unilag 103.1 to put together a special program for young girls aimed at improving the quality of life of the girl child. In attendance were secondary school girls who were made aware of how very powerful their contributions to the country can be.

To support entrepreneurs without the financial wherewithal to make their dreams a reality, TECNO birthed a campaign called Light Up Your Dreams. The brand brought together many young Nigerian entrepreneurs with various business interests ranging from agriculture to technology.
