See hypocrites praising Tecno yet they will not purchase their products

I think we should normalize being happy when we see good things.
Those children that will benefit from this don’t use Tecno and remember they are refugees.
It’s a good initiative by Tecno and everyone should applaud them no matter if they use Tecno or not.

I use a tecno device and I am proud of the brand for helping those children.

The most important aspect of Weownomy is that it will be owned by its users. With no outside investors, the site’s content and data are guaranteed to remain in control of the user. Facebook is a social network that we’ve all grown to love and hate. We love it because it connects us with friends, family, co-workers, classmates, etc. We hate it because of the number of privacy breaches over the years. Weownomy promises to be better than Facebook in every way possible. There will be a user-owned digital bank to monetize every individual’s online activity as opposed to only generating advertising revenue.

This new social media platform does not invade privacy and provides a more secure experience than Facebook, which can be accessed through any browser with an internet connection. Weownomy offers all of the same features as Facebook but without having to give up personal information for fear of being hacked or losing control over your account information.

It promises to be better than Facebook and with good reason. This social media platform offers users the opportunity to have more control over their personal information by giving them an option of deciding who can see what posts, or even having it set up so that they are invisible to other people on the site.

he new platform will have the same functionality as Facebook, but users will be rewarded in new social gold coin currency “weowns” for their content and interactions on the site. These gold coins can then be used to purchase digital goods or services within Weownomy’s online marketplace or bank.

The site is launching private beta test in Mid December 2021 with 2000 users.

Premium smartphone brand TECNO today announced the renewal of its partnership with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to support UNHCR’s global program in primary education, Educate A Child (EAC). The partnership aims to support the improvement of refugee children’s education in Africa, ensuring refugee children’s right to education and ultimately contribute to equal access to education for all.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the learning conditions of refugee children, causing school closures in Africa over the school year. By contributing financially to the EAC program, TECNO’s support has benefited children in Kenya’s Dadaab camp by providing them with textbooks and school kits. In addition, TECNO donated tablets to support continued learning of refugee children during school closure, as well as 50,000 medical face masks for UNHCR Kenya to support its COVID-19 response.

In 2021, TECNO and UNHCR will continue the partnership to benefit a total of 10,670 refugee children in Uganda and Kenya. TECNO’s financial contribution to the EAC program will contribute to the holistic intervention in these locations including improvement of school infrastructure, material assistance to students, training for teachers, and support for refugee students with special needs.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, continuous commitment from TECNO is important to support a safe school reopening and better access for refugee children to continue their primary education, laying the foundation for them to pursue higher education in the future.

Stephen Ha, General Manager of TECNO said, “With the renewed partnership with UNHCR, we hope to continue our support in improving the learning conditions of refugee children. As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, TECNO is committed to giving back to the community where we are present. In the post-COVID time, we will amplify our efforts, especially using digital solutions to increase educational opportunity and enhance education quality for children in Africa so that they could receive better education and be better connected with the world.”
