Accra, Ghana, March 13th, 2025 – Yango Ride, a part
of global technology company Yango Group, marked International Women’s Day by
recognizing its partner drivers with gifts and a session focused on personal
growth and development in the industry. This year’s celebration centered around
the theme “Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity: Breaking Barriers,
Building Bridges.” This initiative aimed to empower and inspire women in
the ride-hailing sector by sharing insights and practical tools to help them
succeed. The gifts, including souvenirs and self-care products, were a small
token of appreciation for their dedication.
Tom
Ofonime, Country Manager of Yango Ride in Ghana, expressed his
gratitude for the female partner’s drivers, stating,“Being a driver and helping people navigate the city is no simple task.
It requires responsibility for safety and comfort, and the ability to solve
problems on the spot. We celebrate the women who rise to this challenge every
day with strength, resilience, and commitment. They inspire us all to challenge
stereotypes and pave the way for a more inclusive future. At Yango, we believe
that empowering women in this role is essential to building a more connected
community.”
In her remarks, a
female partner’s driver Sarah Abena shared her journey as a Yango partner
driver, emphasizing the empowerment that comes with her role: “Collaborating with Yango as a
partner’s driver has given me both freedom and financial independence. I want
to encourage other women to pursue their goals, no matter the challenges.
Together, we can redefine what it means to be a woman in this industry.”
This celebration
highlights Yango’s commitment to supporting women in Ghana, following
initiatives like a women’s empowerment conference, donations to the Korle-Bu
Teaching Hospital maternity ward, and a health screening for Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.
