Vodafone is contributing to the global effort to alleviate poverty. We believe that our networks and innovative products and services can make a significant difference to people’s lives around the world.
We have set a strategic objective to be recognised as a communications company making one of the most significant contributions to achieving the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by March 2015. We aim to make our contribution sustainable by focusing on areas that can both further development and grow our business.
This Resource Centre offers insight into some of the pilots and larger scale programmes we already have in place, and we will update it regularly to provide the very latest information about our contribution to development.
