This, he noted has informed the company's resolve to support a worthy cause by giving back to the community.

 He further noted that aside its normal operation, the company has complimented the effort of government by assisting needy schools with ICT tools, having realised the potential and prospects of ICT especially in today’s digital age. 

Mr Asamane also highlighted a number of projects being undertaken in other regions under Yellow care and mentioned Ashanti and the Northern Region as some beneficiaries.
