MTN Ghana donates to 2025 La Homowo Festival

MTN Ghana has once again demonstrated its commitment to culture and community development by making a donation in support of this year’s La Homowo Festival.

At a brief but colourful ceremony in Accra, the telecommunications giant presented GHC20,000.00 cash cheque, airtime valued at GHC1,000, and hampers of assorted drinks to the La Traditional Council.

The gesture formed part of the company’s broader efforts to preserve culture while fostering strong ties with communities across the country.

Leading the presentation, MTN Ghana’s Chief Customer Experience Officer, Jemima Kotei Walsh,
said the company’s relationship with the people of La has grown from a simple partnership into a
bond built on trust and mutual respect.

“Our support for La Homowo over the years has grown beyond partnership; it has become a
bond. We truly appreciate the La Traditional Council for the warm relationship, trust, and
collaboration we continue to enjoy,” she said.

She further explained that MTN values its connection to Homowo because the festival reflects
principles that resonate with the company’s mission to connect people and empower
communities.

“Beyond the symbolic hooting at hunger, Homowo represents values that bring people together
and inspire future generations. By supporting festivals, we not only sustain culture but also
contribute to social and economic growth. That is why MTN proudly supports more than 40
festivals across the country,” she added.

MTN also announced that, as part of this year’s celebration, it will set up sales stands at key points
to ensure residents and visitors can easily access its products and services. Dedicated staff will
also be on hand to educate the public on MoMo fraud prevention and digital safety, while assisting customers with inquiries and challenges.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the La Traditional Area, the La Shikitele, Nii Adjei Koofeh IV,
expressed gratitude to MTN Ghana for consistently standing with the people of La.

"The La Traditional Council and the chiefs and people of La are very grateful to MTN for their support. Every year they come to stand with us. We pray that their business continues to grow, that they gain more subscribers, and that their workers and management enjoy blessings, strength, and good health from the Almighty and our ancestors," he said.

He urged residents to make use of MTN’s presence during the festivities to engage with the company, learn more about its services, and resolve any outstanding concerns.
