itel Tanzania empowers education in Zanzibar through CSR initiative.

itel, a global smart life brand, reaffirmed its commitment to education and community development with a successful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event on December 4, 2024, at Kisiwandui Primary School in Zanzibar.

This initiative, a collaboration with Amity Foundation and Dream Public Welfare (DBSA), aims to bolster local schools by providing essential learning materials to improve educational opportunities for students in underserved communities.

The event aligns with itel’s broader vision of creating equitable learning environments throughout Tanzania. itel contributed desks, chairs, and blackboards to local schools, addressing significant gaps in infrastructure that often impede student learning experiences.

Speaking at the event, Bruce Lu, Country Manager of itel Tanzania, highlighted the importance of education as a foundation for sustainable development.

“Education is a cornerstone for progress, and through initiatives like these, itel is committed to empowering future generations. Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to the resources they need to learn, grow, and achieve their potential,” said Bruce.

This CSR activity aligns with itel’s ongoing efforts across Africa, where itel brand has been at the forefront of supporting education through donations and collaborative projects for more than 10 years. The initiative in Zanzibar is expected to directly impact hundreds of students, providing them with a better learning environment and inspiring them to pursue their dreams.

The event was attended by local leaders, educators, and community members, who praised itel for its dedication to uplifting education standards in Tanzania.

 This CSR effort also serves as a stepping stone for itel’s future plans to expand its “Love Always On” community outreach programs, with a focus on sustainable development and empowering underserved populations.
