MTN initiated the programme in July 2013 to identify and recognise unsung heroes, who are making a difference in their communities and by so doing encourage others to emulate their example.

He said the programme was one of the projects he was very passionate about, adding that it was a great pleasure to have both men and women championing community upliftment projects.
