Connex lanched a new social programme

MobiFon, operator of the mobile telephony service Connex, yesterday announced the launching of a new community assistance program "Connex for the future."

The company estimates allocating approximately $7 million by the end of 2007.

Beginning yesterday, Connex started to use one cent out of every ten Connex network calls in order to finance programs in education, culture and environment which research identified as being important for local communities.

They are called "Romanian Education", "Restoring Romanian Monuments" and "A Cleaner Romania."

Connex will be asking customers for their opinions regarding the three targeted areas by making free calls to *111 or visiting the Connex Web site.
After reviewing customer responses, Connex will begin allocating funds to specific regional and national projects. The mobile telephony operator will also continue to support charitable programs for people in need through the Connex Foundation, formerly known as the Sirois Foundation.

This program provides financial contributions to support children, young mothers and the elderly.

Connex had 4,369,745 customers at the end of the first nine months of 2004.
