Bringing our purpose to life across Africa

In this edition, we emphasise our renewed purpose: to connect Africa for a better future. We recently refined our purpose pillars to focus more sharply on empowering people, protecting the planet, and maintaining trust in all our actions. 

One Spirit exemplifies this purpose by bringing you the inspiring stories of the Instant Network Schools initiative, which provides quality education to thousands of refugees across Africa, and our Festival of Giving in South Africa, held in honour of Nelson Mandela’s legacy. Our articles on the Letters for Good campaign, aimed at improving the lives of Kenyans, and Smile Week, during which we address the physical challenges faced by young people, also reinforce the message that #TogetherWeCan. 

These stories highlight how your work and personal contributions over the past months have advanced our purpose, showcasing our collective efforts and the impact we are making. Together, we are going #FurtherTogether, making strides towards a better shared future. 

Achieving our purpose also means understanding and addressing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to watch the video below, which highlights key achievements from our ESG Reporting Suite as of 31 March 2024. 

Happy reading!
