This gesture aims to improve the lives of those in needs, show love and bring smiles to people facing difficult circumstances.

The company provided food, goats, and other essential social supplies to the Fadhillah Orphanage Centre, which is located at the Misugusugu area of Pwani region, in anticipation of the Eid Mubarak Celebration.

While presenting the donations, Halotel's Head of Marketing Department, Sakina Makabu, said that such support is a normal practice for the company to remember the community, especially children living in difficult situations.

“In addition to supporting orphans and those living in challenging circumstances, the company has directed its regional offices throughout Tanzania to help similar groups, as they have done in Pwani”. Sakina said this in her statement.

The Fadhila Centre, which received the donations, cares for and educates 168 children, all of whom are orphans due to losing their parents or other reasons. Many of these children have faced numerous challenges, and the centre provides a safe and loving environment where they can receive the care and support they need.

"Today we are providing 150 kilos of rice, 50 kilos of beans, 60 liters of cooking oil, 100 kilos of cornmeal, 50 kilos of sugar, 100 packets of noodles, (02)two goats, soap for personal hygiene and laundry, diapers for disabled children, and school supplies. The main goal of these gifts is to bring smiles and love to these children during the Eid Mubarak Celebration, so they can celebrate and enjoy it like others," added Sakina.

Speaking about the contribution, the Director of the centre, Sureya Shehe, expressed her gratitude to Halotel, saying, "We are very grateful for this significant contribution from Halotel. It will make a big difference to the children here, who are in dire need of basic necessities such as food and school supplies, and most importantly, this love will enable them to enjoy the Eid Mubarak celebration. We appreciate Halotel's efforts to help our Tanzanian community and hope they continue to do so to improve the lives of Tanzanians”.

Halotel's support for this centre is part of a regular practice to build good relationships with the community, who are also customers and Tanzanians as a whole.

This practice is implemented through the company's excellent policies for community outreach, in addition to providing the best communication services throughout the country.
