Thus, MTN acts to help communities thrive through the power of technology.

In Guinea, MTN assumes its responsibility and contributes to reducing the digital divide by being particularly mobilized for the inclusion of women through digital technology.

Digital inclusion is not simply a question of technological access, it is also and above all a catalyst for socio-economic development and empowerment.

Thus, MTN Guinea has undertaken a series of initiatives to enable women to seize all the opportunities represented by the digital revolution.

1. Mobile Connectivity and Accessibility

MTN Guinea has invested significantly in expanding its mobile network infrastructure, including 4G, particularly in rural areas.

This effort ensures that women in remote areas have access to reliable and affordable mobile connectivity.

By reducing the digital divide, women can participate in the digital economy, access educational resources and connect to essential services.

 2. Digital education programs

Recognizing that digital skills are essential to participate in the modern economy, MTN Guinea has implemented digital education programs particularly within the framework of Y'ello Care.

These initiatives aim in particular to equip women with the skills necessary to operate in a digital environment, use smartphones and access information online.

Workshops, training sessions and community outreach programs have enabled many women to leverage technology for their personal and professional growth.

3. Mobile financial services for women

MTN Guinea has introduced innovative mobile financial services specifically designed to meet the needs of women.

These services facilitate financial inclusion, enabling women to manage their finances, access banking services and carry out digital transactions.

These financial services also contribute to their financial independence.

4. Inclusive infrastructure

In 2022, MTN Guinea inaugurated a crèche within its company in order to make the lives of its employees easier.

This initiative, a first in Guinea, was born from MTN's desire to promote inclusion internally and therefore to provide the conditions allowing women to flourish.

 MTN Guinea, as a major player in the digital economy and as a responsible and committed company, has established itself as a pioneer for the inclusion of women.

Through strategic investments, innovative programs and a constant commitment to gender equality, MTN Guinea is laying the foundations for a more inclusive and equitable digital future.
