Capital Newspaper, SAMANU pair for social impact

As part of its silver jubilee celebrations, and continued social impact, Capital newspaper in partnership with SAMANU FMGC gives back to the community for the holidays of Fasika and Eid al-fitr.

The media house which has often been an avid supporter of the community through its CSR initiatives this time around donated different basic consumer goods to the need, courtesy of Ethiopia’s largest FMCG platform SAMANU.

The contribution sought to give back to the parents of Ayer Amba Kindergarten and High School who have been direly affected during these peak times of inflation.

During the donation ceremony which was held on Thursday April 20 at the school premises, Teguest Yilma, Managing Editor of Capital, said that over the years Capital has played a pivotal role in rendering much needed support to the community where need arose.

She further elaborated that the media house has been vocal and keen over the years in improving the educational system as well as in donating educational materials and direct support to parents and students in different institutions across the country.

“The latest donation comes at a time where we are cognizant of the negative effects that inflation has had in our community,” Teguest said highlighting the primary reason for the initiative.

At the ceremony, Education Bureau heads and relevant government officials of Wereda 1 appreciated the initiative that Capital took and called on others to follow suit.

SAMANU FMGC, which on this occasion partnered with Capital for the donation, is one of the leading basic commodities like edible oil, macaroni and cleaning products manufacturer in Ethiopia.

Textbooks, edible oil, pasta, powder soap and flour were donated to the parents in need under the guidance and selection of the school committee.
