Leading telecommunications operator and organizer of the annual Airtel Rising Stars U-17 Tournament has announced a goal-for-education incentive during the forthcoming National Championship.
The company is offering $100 for every goal scored during match regulation time at the championship. At the end of the Championship, a participating team will receive the aggregated monetary value for the number of goals it scored during regular match time with the liberty to choose which charity in home state or zone gets the donation.
The Goal-for-Education initiative is aimed at furthering the company’s CSR spread while enhancing the quality of living among the less privileged across its African markets.
Speaking about the initiative, Director of Corporate Communication and CSR, Airtel Nigeria, Emeka Oparah, said it is one of the tie-back benefits of the Airtel Rising Stars Tournament which focuses on discovering talented football youngsters and giving them opportunities to hone their skills and become renowned stars.
His word, ”Our CSR goal is primarily targeted at helping the less privileged using every credible platform such as the ARS provides. We believe the goal-for-education, being a CSR-initiative, will further boost our efforts at achieving improved living conditions for this set of people among us. We are promoting a culture of integration that allows the players to live for others, using their talents. We also hope it will motivate the young boys and girls to produce for all lovers of the game the best of grassroots football for which the ARS is known.”
Good one Airtel Nigeria!
