In 2017, Ooredoo Myanmar introduced “The 1-Minute-1-Kyat initiative”-The more you speak the more Ooredoo will donate” CSR program in which the operator donated 1 Kyat from its own revenue for every minute its customers spoke. These generated funds were used for donations and programs that support education and social development in Myanmar. Under this project, Ooredoo Myanmar contributed MMK 1.2 billion to Monastic Education Schools, Orphanage Schools, and Youth Training Centers across the country for building new educational facilities and renovating others to continue to provide free education to children who cannot afford otherwise.
