Airtel Africa foundation unveils plan for improving 10 million lives in Africa by 2030

Airtel Africa Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Airtel Africa plc, today unveiled its plans to directly improve the lives of 10 million people across the continent by 2030. The strategy will be delivered through targeted initiatives under four core pillars namely Financial Empowerment, Education, Environmental Protection and Digital Inclusion (FEED).
