Children's Day 2017: TECNO Foundation visits kids in schools; distributes educational materials

Children’s day is all about celebrating the innocence and place of every child in the society. The celebration is also about reminding ourselves, the importance of giving every child the right kind of knowledge for critical thinking and confidence, self-expression and determination, so that they can grow as healthy and educated citizens of the country.

In line with this, teaching every child the important values of sharing and caring, the principles of being content, respecting others for who they are and learning from others what they do know; are key to seeing every child becoming the impeccably groomed gentlemen and ladies the society needs.

Understanding the vulnerability and receptive nature of children, and conscious that whatever becomes of them through the lessons they learn from their young age largely live with them even as adults, TECNO Foundation - a non-profit organization, has distributed over 10,000 educational materials to Pupils in various Primary schools across the country. This was done in collaboration with TalentBOOM, also a non-profit initiative that shares the same ideas of promoting grassroot education and child development.

Speaking on the initiative, TECNO’s Deputy Marketing manager - PR, Offline events and Sponsorships, Attai Oguche, reiterated the brand’s promise to inspire learning at the developmental stage of every Nigerian child. In his words: “We cannot ignore the fact that every child needs quality education in building the future workforce of our nation. TECNO Mobile is dedicated in building Nigeria’s educated future and the prosperity of the African continent”.

This year’s Children’s Day celebrations marks the fourth consecutive year TECNO Mobile is undertaking this initiative through her Foundation to support education at the grassroot level, as part of its annual Corporate social responsibilities. The activities marking the year’s celebrations will culminate in the awarding of scholarships and TECNO Mobile smartphones to deserving pupils in Primary and secondary schools across the country.

TECNO Mobile is a leading producer of in-demand, high-end mobile phones. Founded in 2006, the company has since become a strong force; the mobile technology brand at the forefront of making smartphones available and accessible to every African.
