To support this target group VivaCell-MTS has allocated around AMD 600 million till now.

Investments in this sphere are rewarding in the long-term, and one needs to be patient to harvest the fruits of his efforts. Care is part of corporate culture. This long-term initiative is aimed at fostering higher education, and we already have achieved notable results.
