Vodafone Foundation

Programmes

• Applications

  Vodafone Foundation develops unique applications that harness the power and reach of app technology to address some of the world’s most pressing problems, from domestic violence and abuse to cancer and COVID-19. Examples of those include DreamLab and a range of apps against abuse.
• Connected Health

  The health programmes aim to use technology to connect some of the people in greatest need to health and wellbeing information and services. Some of their key projects include m-mama, which aims to connect pregnant women to emergency care in rural regions in Africa, and Girls and mobile, which aims to increase girls access to technology and mobile and develop digital tools and products that empower girls to make smarter life decisions.

• Connected Learning

  Through these programmes, the foundation is working with other partners to enable some of the most vulnerable communities in the areas they operate in to gain access to quality learning. Some of the programmes under this pilar include Instant Network Schools, Instant Schools and Digital Skills in Europe. In countries like Egypt, the foundation supports other unique projects, such as “Majidah.org,” Egypt’s first digital platform created to educate and hiring people with disabilities, and e-learning platform "Ta3limy", which aims to develop free digital educational content and resources to students nationwide.
• Connected Living

  A pioneering programme from Vodafone Business Ventures with Mencap that uses technology to improve the lives of people with a learning disability, their families and carers.
• STEM hackathons

  In 2022, CodeBrave started running STEM hackathon to raise awareness of tech education amongst a broader group of children and youth who are not in their core projects, whom they teach basics of coding and robotics.
