This comes after millions of children are affected by school closure due to COVID-19 .
Airtel Africa will help provide access to online learning and better enable cash transfers for children and their families in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The partnership is aimed at providing children with access to remote learning and enable access to cash assistance for their families via mobile cash transfers.

According to a statement released by Airtel and UNICEF, under the partnership UNICEF and Airtel Africa will use mobile technology to benefit an estimated 133 million school age children currently affected by school closures in 13 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“UNICEF deputy executive director Fayaz King said COVID-19 is affecting access to information and education at an unprecedented scale. Worldwide, most children are not in school which we know can lead to a number of increased vulnerabilities and setbacks, UNICEF is partnering with Airtel Africa to deliver better outcomes for children and families affected by widespread closures”,said King.

King also disclosed that the partnership will also provide UNICEF with a means to facilitate vital cash assistance to alleviate financial barriers for some of the most vulnerable families across the region.

Airtel Africa Chief Executive Officer Raghunath Handava said some effective ways to cushion families from the effects of this crisis is through providing free internet to selected educational websites to help children keep up with their learning during the school closure.
