Our approach
Education creates opportunities and entrepreneurship drives economic growth. Africell supports education and entrepreneurship in our operating markets by helping institutions acquire or develop better digital capabilities; partnering with organisations dedicated to widening access to learning and information, especially among young people, women and other under-privileged groups; and offering targeted support to innovative entrepreneurs and businesses which put sustainability, technology and social impact at the heart of their approach.
Highlights
Partnership with LSE
Africell and the London School of Economics (LSE) have created a bespoke training programme for aspiring management candidates within Africell, focused on the topics of “intrapreneurship” and “empathetic leadership”.
Camino do Bem
In partnership with the Fundação Arte e Cultura, we established an innovative internship programme for orphans and other young people from disadvantaged parts of Luanda.

Digitruck Salone
We sponsor ‘Digitruck Salone’, a venture run by Media Matters for Women that provides digital literacy training to women and girls in rural parts of Sierra Leone.
