teaching aids in most of the schools in the country; this is why we
are committed to support the government under ministry of education to
ensure we contribute to the education sector in the country. We
recognize education has the fundamental role and is key to the
economic development, poverty alleviation, and is the basis for future
manpower/ employee that provides great leaders to our nation. This is
a continuation of our Shule Yetu programme that has been in existence
for over 6 years".

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 Kisawaswa
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. Today we continue demonstrating

students and teachers". said Kaniki.

to support the government in the education sector.We believe this
contribution will bring significant changes and increase our books
ratio from where it was. I urge and appeal to our students to make use
of the books donated by Airtel today to better their performance".

will continue with its plan to reach more schools across the country
