MTN Ghana has unveiled the latest edition of its celebrated Heroes of Change initiative, bringing with it an exciting new twist for its 25th anniversary. This year’s top prize winner will walk away with an impressive GHS 100,000, a significant increase further to encourage exceptional community service and leadership among Ghanaians. The inclusion of the innovative Digital Hero category adds a forward-thinking touch, highlighting individuals who have harnessed digital tools to create meaningful impact across Ghana’s communities.
For years, Heroes of Change has served as a platform to recognize and celebrate ordinary citizens who have made extraordinary contributions to society in areas like health, education, and economic empowerment. However, this year’s addition of the Digital Hero category reflects the increasing importance of technology in addressing societal challenges. With this new focus, MTN acknowledges the growing intersection between technology and social good, positioning the initiative as a leader in the conversation about digital transformation in Ghana.
The competition is not just about recognition; it’s also about visibility. Over a three-month period, the efforts of nominated heroes will be showcased on TV and social media, providing a broader platform for the nation to witness the remarkable work being done at the grassroots level. Beyond the grand prize, each of the ten finalists will receive GHS 20,000 as well as a certificate and citation, acknowledging their impactful work.
As part of MTN’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility, this initiative not only encourages individual contributions but also fosters a culture of innovation and community leadership across the country. The creation of the Digital Hero category reflects MTN’s understanding of the critical role technology now plays in solving community challenges and driving inclusive growth. By awarding those who are making strides in this space, MTN aims to inspire a new generation of changemakers who leverage both their hearts and minds to make Ghana a better place.
