As part of its commitment to community development and social impact, MTN has announced the return of Y’ello Care, its annual staff volunteer initiative, with an expanded 25-day outreach programme to commemorate the company’s 25th anniversary.
This year’s edition, themed “Equitable Health for Every Community,” will run from June 1 to June 25, marking the first time the initiative will be extended beyond its traditional duration. The symbolic extension reflects MTN’s renewed determination to deepen its impact and reach more underserved communities across its operating regions.
Through the initiative, MTN aims to expand access to quality healthcare services in remote and underserved communities where access is often hindered by distance, inadequate infrastructure, high costs, and shortages of healthcare professionals. The programme will particularly focus on vulnerable groups including women, children, and persons living with disabilities, who are disproportionately affected by healthcare inequalities.
Y’ello Care continues to serve as a platform that mobilises MTN employees across all operating companies to volunteer their time, skills, and resources toward meaningful community interventions. The initiative embodies the company’s belief in collective action and the power of using available resources and reach to create lasting social impact.
According to MTN, the 2026 edition of Y’ello Care is more than just a corporate social responsibility programme; it is a reflection of the organisation’s commitment to making a difference where it matters most by responding to real societal challenges through practical and people-focused solutions.
The official opening ceremony for the Y’ello Care initiative is scheduled to take place at the MTN Rooftop Plaza in Lagos on Wednesday, June 3, with more details expected to be announced in the coming days.
Over the years, Y’ello Care has remained one of MTN’s flagship volunteer initiatives, positively impacting thousands of lives through interventions in health, education, youth empowerment, and community support projects across Africa and the Middle East.
