American Tower and ProFuturo have established a partnership with the aim of transforming education in underprivileged schools across Africa. The primary focus of this innovative collaboration will be the implementation of a pilot phase in Kenya, with the goal of enhancing educational practices through the integration of technology.
This joint endeavor, a result of the collaboration between American Tower and ProFuturo, seeks to bring about tangible and effective change in underserved schools, promoting innovative practices and driving the digital transformation of education in the years ahead.
The program is slated to be rolled out in 44 schools in Africa and Latin America, impacting the lives of over 4,500 students and 475 teachers. George Odenyo, CEO of ATC Kenya, expressed his optimism for the project, affirming its alignment with the company’s vision of creating a more connected Kenya.
Moreover, the initiative has garnered praise from key stakeholders, including Magdalena Brier, Managing Director of ProFuturo, who underscored the significance of this partnership in addressing the digital divide and educational disparities. Mneesha Nahata, Senior Vice President of Legal & Chief Sustainability Officer of American Tower Corporation, emphasized the importance of digital education and expressed enthusiasm for the potential of the partnership to support underprivileged communities.
In the spirit of global cooperation, the collaboration between American Tower and ProFuturo is in line with the United Nations Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting a shared commitment to improving access to quality education and reducing poverty and inequality in the region.
The impact of this initiative will extend beyond the initial phase in Kenya, with plans to expand the program to encompass more schools and countries across Africa and Latin America. This underlines a long-term commitment to driving positive change and fostering educational innovation on a global scale.
By harnessing technology and educational innovation, American Tower and ProFuturo are dedicated to equipping vulnerable schools with the resources and support they need to thrive in the digital age. Through this collaborative effort, they aim to empower students, teachers, and communities, ultimately contributing to the transformation of education in Africa and Latin America.
