Nokia, the world's largest manufacturer of mobile devices and a leader in mobile network equipment, solutions and services, has presented educational materials to over 300 pupils in the Dampase, District Assembly Primary School and Junior High school of the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The items valued at US$7,000 are schoolbags, two personal computers, nokia phones, exercise books, novels and other teaching materials.

The presentation forms part of Nokia’s corporate social responsibility programme in the country.
Communications Manager for Nokia -West Africa, Ngozi Ife Anene, at the ceremony to present the items to the school, indicated that Nokia is passionate about helping to develop the talent of students and youth to ensure the benefit of human capital development of the country.

“Nokia is in collaboration with Plan Ghana to ensure successful development of the youth in the country; this is targetted at developing youth into better citizens.

One of such programme was ‘Kids Wave’, which allows children to talk about issues affecting them - such as street kids, education, HIV as well as children’s rights.”

About US$20,000 has been earmarked for a successful implementation of the company’s corporate social responsibility programmes in the country this year, Ife Anene disclosed.

Head Teacher of the School, Mr. Paul Dagbui Kwaku, thanked Nokia for its continuous support towards the growth and success of disadvantaged pupils in the society.

Nokia has experienced huge growth in the Ghanaian market and has remained the most preferred brand in the country. It currently has 14 collection points spread across Accra, Tema, Kumasi, Cape Coast and Weija.
