Uplifting Women and Youth

We believe inclusive economic growth starts with empowering those often left behind. Through our flagship program, Connect Women in Business, launched in 2019, MTN has supported over 10,000 women from vulnerable backgrounds including mothers, widows, refugees, and former street vendors. This initiative provides training in financial literacy, digital tools, and business management, enabling women to grow sustainable businesses in sectors such as agriculture, crafts, and digital. Thousands of women-led saving groups have gained the tools, confidence, and capital to become financially independent and contribute to their communities.

“Level Up your Biz” is a youth initiative meant to empower and provide youth-led businesses with the right entrepreneurial skills and knowledge and as a result would strengthen their innovative capabilities amidst an evolving digital world.
In order to address some of the economic & emotional challenges faced by teen mothers, MTN in partnership with Empower Rwanda (A women-led local NGO) supported 110 vulnerable teen mothers in Rwamagana and Gatsibo districts. The support worth 10 million FRW went through individual and group items such as sewing machines, and accessories livestock, and sanitary items among others.
