Our community
Empowering communities and enabling inclusive growth
We believe meaningful transformation begins within communities. Our role extends beyond connectivity: it is about unlocking access to learning, enterprise and opportunity. We are committed to advancing inclusion while empowering individuals and communities to realise their full potential in an increasingly digital world.
Through our programmes and initiatives, we strive to create opportunities for individuals, families and communities, reduce inequality and create lasting social impact. By strengthening education, expanding access and promoting inclusion, we enable people to learn, grow and actively participate in the digital and financial economy.
How we address our priority material topics
Digital inclusion
Digital inclusion is at the heart of empowering communities and individuals to forge brighter futures.
Financial inclusion
Financial inclusion is key to driving equality and economic growth in our markets.
Access to education
We are committed that more children than ever have access to high-quality educational resources so they can reach their full potential.
Supporting the UN SDGs
Our community programmes and initiatives are designed to unlock opportunity, reduce inequality and deliver positive social impact. We focus on enhancing education, access and inclusion – enabling people to learn, grow and fully participate in the digital and financial economy.
SDG 4: Quality education – Through the provision of free internet access and supporting digital learning in schools, we’re helping children build the literacy and digital skills they need to succeed. Our targeted support ensures that all students can access high-quality educational resources.
SDG 5: Gender equality – Expanding our network into rural and underserved areas empowers more women to connect, learn and access financial tools that support independence and family security. Within our own business, we are committed to creating a fair and inclusive culture where everyone – regardless of gender – can develop their careers and achieve their full potential.
SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth – Our mobile and financial services drive entrepreneurship and enable informal and small businesses to flourish. Across our operations, we prioritise local hiring and skills development, offering meaningful employment opportunities and supporting economic progress in the communities we serve.
