Africell Marks 25 Years with Tree Drive Across Gambia

Africell marks 25 years with plans to plant 25,000 trees across The Gambia. They kicked off this green project at Cape Point beach, where staff planted 250 trees. The National Environment Agency joined forces with them for this special event. This huge project aims to fight climate change and stop beach erosion. Africell wants to plant different types of trees, including fruit trees that help local wildlife.

Africell's Chairman Ziad Dalloul flew in from London for the tree-planting day. He brought several company leaders with him to join the celebration. The Gambia's CEO, Hussien Diab Ghanem, led his management team at the beach event. Each person planted a tree with their name attached to show personal commitment. They dug holes, planted saplings, and added soil with their hands.

CEO Ghanem called this the first major tree-planting project of its size in The Gambia. He spoke about how trees help fight climate change directly and urged all citizens to plant trees wherever possible. The NEA sent Director Lamin Camara, who praised Africell for its environmental action. Camara promised his agency would offer expert advice to keep the trees alive and thriving.

The Gambia gave birth to Africell as a company many years ago. The phone company feels this tree project shows their love for the country. They believe that protecting nature matters just as much as business success. Planting trees creates a lasting gift that benefits everyone. These 25,000 trees represent 25 years of growth for both the company and the nation.

This green initiative shows how companies can help create a healthier planet. Africell hopes these trees will grow tall for future generations to enjoy. They want other businesses to follow their example of environmental care. The company thanks everyone who supports their tree-planting mission. They believe small actions like planting trees can change The Gambia for the better when people work together.
