Tigo; enabling children to access today’s world through education

Tigo (Pvt.) Limited, has stepped forward to take the initiative to provide opportunities for our children to ‘access today’s world through education’. Tigo has set the pace to take knowledge where it is needed most. With a vision of enabling our children to access knowledge, Tigo has selected some of the most deserving and deprived schools where they will set up a Tigo Knowledge Centre a well versed reading library. Most of the reading materials available are relevant to the student’s everyday academic lessons, thereby aiding them with the proper required knowledge to be well versed in theses respective areas.

With a mission aligned with Tigo’s ‘3 A strategy’, this CSR project is one which focuses on Availability (access to knowledge readily available), Affordability (targeting children from low income earning families) and Accessibility (bringing knowledge to where the needs are.) In the first of a nine phase project, Tigo initiated its inaugural Knowledge Centerin the Ihala Thalduwa Kanishta Vidyalaya in Awissawella. The Center was declared open by Mr. Riyaaz Rasheed Chief Financial Officer Tigo. “As a company that recognizes that knowledge is the foundation of tomorrow’s generation and future professionals, Tigo takes pride in providing such opportunities through the Knowledge Centre” said Mr. Rasheed. The opening was carried out with the presence of the principle, teachers, students as well as Tigo’s management team, staff, business partners and customers.

The school principle expressed his gratitude for the resources and the opportunity, saying that the students are talented and keen to learn. He embraced this gesture with open arms, thanking Tigo for enriching Sri Lanka’s future generations with the gift of knowledge.
