Airtel Business Zambia has donated over 100 routers to 50 teachers around the country to support digital learning.

The routers are the result of a collaboration between Airtel and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which aims to provide access to digital learning, particularly for students with disabilities, as part of an inclusive strategy.

According to Airtel, the program is part of Learning Passport, a UNICEF-led educational learning portal aimed at connecting schools to the internet and providing free access to the platform.

The telco said it supplied teachers with training on how to use the devices.

“Airtel and UNICEF Together are reimagining education for every child,” said Artel Business Zambia in social media post.
