MTN South Sudan has inaugurated a digital hub at the Mangateen internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Juba, offering free internet access, solar-powered computers, and digital learning resources to one of the country’s most underserved communities.
The initiative, launched under the telecom giant’s annual #21DaysOfY’elloCare corporate social responsibility campaign, aims to promote digital inclusion in post-conflict zones where infrastructure and access to technology remain severely limited.
MTN South Sudan CEO Mapula Bodibe described the hub as a gateway to education and economic empowerment for displaced populations. “Connectivity is no longer a luxury—it’s a lifeline. This hub provides tools that enable learning, entrepreneurship, and access to opportunity,” she said.
The project addresses a critical digital divide in South Sudan, where many communities still lack basic internet access despite growing reliance on digital tools for recovery and reintegration.
Similar efforts across MTN’s African footprint highlight how private sector investment can complement humanitarian interventions, providing long-term, sustainable support in fragile and underserved regions.
