innovation awards

In line with Cell C’s commitment to ensuring the momentum gained through the Take a Girl Child to Work Day® event is sustained throughout the year, we introduced the Innovation Awards in 2006.

The awards are presented to companies that have gone the extra mile by maintaining relationships with the schools hosted and providing further support beyond Take a Girl Child to Work Day®. This is in line with Cell C’s endeavour to maintain the momentum gained through the project and making it more sustainable.’

We appreciate the efforts of all our partner companies, individuals, government and civil society organisations in providing our girl children with the opportunity to extend their horizons and a glimpse at the varied career opportunities that awaits them.
