Why Africa, Why Now?
Africa is home to the world's youngest population and one of the fastest-growing digital economies. Yet millions of people remain excluded from opportunities due to barriers in access, affordability, devices, digital skills and participation.
Closing these gaps is one of the greatest opportunities to accelerate inclusive economic growth, employment, entrepreneurship and sustainable development across the continent. The MTN Group Foundation exists to help bridge these barriers by leveraging technology, partnerships and innovation to expand opportunity and unlock socio-economic inclusion at scale.
Building Africa's Inclusive Digital Future
The MTN Group Foundation is an independent pan-African organisation dedicated to bridging the digital divide and expanding economic opportunity across Africa. Building on the impact of MTN foundations across the continent, the Foundation brings together governments, development partners, donors, communities and innovators to scale solutions that address Africa's most pressing digital inclusion challenges.
