Enabling thriving communities

The digital revolution is a powerful agent for transforming society for the better. Conversely, a lack of access to the digital world creates wider social and economic disparities.

As an emerging market operator, addressing social challenges is an inherent part of our business.

VIVACOM can only flourish when the communities and ecosystems in which it operates are healthy. We, therefore, leverage our size, resources and capabilities to enable the socio-economic development of the communities within which we operate, so they may benefit from a modern connected life.

We enable thriving communities by creating jobs and equipping our people and African youth for the future world of work, while always upholding the rights of all our customers.
