As part of its silver jubilee celebrations, and continued social impact, Capital newspaper in partnership with SAMANU FMGC and SMLH ONM Ethiopia, gives back to the community.
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 and Société des Membres de la Légion d’Honneur and National Order of Merit (SMLH-ONM) which is formed to strengthen cooperation and friendship between French and Ethiopian communities.

The contribution sought to give back to the parents of Hizbawi Serawit School who have been direly affected during these peak times of inflation.
During the donation ceremony which was held on Saturday July 15, 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.
At the ceremony, Education Bureau heads and relevant government officials appreciated the initiative that Capital took and called on others to follow suit.
