Building the confidence and capabilities to thrive in a digital world
Our pledge
In partnership with communities, educators, NGOs and governments, Vodafone Foundation runs tailored programs in 14 European countries that help build digital capabilities, know-how and confidence.
As the world’s progress towards a digital society accelerates, we believe that no-one should be excluded or left behind on the journey. In fact, we are determined to ensure everyone is able to both survive and thrive in a technology-led world – from doing everyday things like booking a doctor’s appointment, buying groceries and catching up with friends and family, to choosing to pursue bigger life ambitions, such as starting a new business, working remotely or petitioning government for change.
Our initiatives
Our programs aim to benefit the whole of society, but focus primarily on two areas where we believe the need is greatest and where we can effect the most change: education systems; and older people. Crucially, each program is rooted in a deep understanding of the specific needs and circumstances of its local people and communities, covering everything from how to use certain technologies and devices, to abilities like critical-thinking and how to guard against online risks, such as identity theft and fake news.
