The ‘Power to You’ projectOver the years, we have been contributing to societal development by promoting education initiatives. We’ve partnered with reputable organisations towards various programmes, including Girls in ICT, connected schools and donations to schools in underserved communities where we operate. This includes ICT workshops and training for students at all levels of education, provision of Internet connectivity in schools and donation of learning materials for students in underdeveloped areas.

We’re committed to using our resources to improve access to quality education, that’s why we created the ‘Power to You’ programme, which aims to transform the way students learn, teachers teach and administrators manage schools, using modern-day technology.
