MTN Zambia has donated 500 smartphones to residents of Kalabo District as part of its 21 Days of Y’ello Care initiative, themed “Connecting at the Roots.” The program aims to promote digital inclusion in rural communities.
The donation, supported by OXFAM, Global Affairs Canada, and local NGOs, aligns with the Zambian government’s rural development goals.
Western Province Minister Kapelwa Mbangweta praised the initiative for empowering farmers, women, and youth affected by climate shocks.
MTN’s Pamela Pio noted the effort goes beyond connectivity—it’s about unlocking access to education, health, and economic opportunities.
This year marks both the 18th anniversary of the Y’ello Care campaign and MTN Zambia’s 20th anniversary.
