MTN Foundation has embarked on a 20-orphanage-visit around the country! Last Friday, we got to visit the Love Home Orphanage, Magodo, Lagos, to share a double dose of happiness.
And, we’re so glad we hitched along. We got to play a part in ensuring that January gets a little better for some young eager Nigerians!

Hephzibah Itimi, the manager of the orphanage gave us a very warm welcome and a tour of the home. That was when we found out that ALL the children in the orphanage were in private schools in Lagos!
How could they afford that? She explained that the orphanage believed that the children deserved the best and strived to ensure this was achieved in all aspects.
After the tour, we got down to business as various food and household items were handed over to the managers of the home. “I have to thank MTN Foundation, that somebody as small as we are could be noticed by a company as big as MTN?! We are grateful.”, Itimi explained after the gifts were handed over.
