Airtel Africa and UNICEF launched the $57million 5-year partnership in 2021, to accelerate the roll-out of digital learning for children by connecting schools to the internet and ensuring free access to learning platforms in countries where Airtel operates, to ensure that every child reaches their full potential.
Group CEO of Airtel Africa, Segun Ogunsanya, who made the pledge during a visit to Kitende Secondary School, Entebbe, one of the schools connected to the internet by the mobile telecommunications operator, averred that, Airtel Africa is cognizant of the great value education contributes to nations across the continent, which is why the Telecom operator is very deliberate in promoting education and empowering our people.
“Airtel Africa will continue to support the shared efforts of the Government of Uganda, by identifying and collaborating with strategic partners like UNICEF to transform the way our children learn. We commit to do this in Uganda and across the 13 other countries where Airtel Africa operates,” Ogunsanya pledged.
