Supporting The Education
Keeping in track with the moto ‘Moving the world together', the journey to help the less privileged people of the society started back in 2010, with the health campaigns and medical support for the old homes and orphanages.
Nadkarni , Head of Sales and Marketing Hyundai Motors Nigeria said: “It has become imperative to bridge the gap between children of the rich and poor particularly those in basic schools while stimulating the less privileged children to learn without fear of discrimination.”
Quoting a recent UNICEF report, he said , "With children under 15 years of age accounting for 45% of the country’s population, the burden on education and other sectors has become overwhelming.”
