"We are highly committed towards supporting Tanzanian communities not only by providing communications services but also by improving the education level in the country; we applaud the government efforts but realize that we also have a role to play, which brings us to Kisawasawa today.

Airtel Tanzania has given equal opportunity to schools from all regions in the country including the aisles to ensure the educational support reaches most of the students and reduce the need for educational and scholastic materials.
