We believe in the power of technology to change lives. We connect for good, creating sustainable programmes to enable a safe and inclusive world where everyone can thrive.
About us
Vodafone Group Plc is our principal funder.
Through a strategy of 'Connecting For Good', Vodafone Foundation connects Vodafone's technology and charitable giving with the expertise of our partners, to create long-term, sustainable programmes that help to address the world’s most pressing problems.
Our work is centred around three global challenges: driving inclusion through digital learning, tackling harm and abuse, and building resilience and response in times of crisis.
Global vision, local solutions
As a truly international corporate foundation, we have programmes across 21 of Vodafone's markets, with dedicated Vodafone Foundation teams in each of the countries in which we operate.
An independent charity with over 30 years’ experience, our work is designed for impact. We are flexible in our approach, forming strong partnerships that allow us to tailor our global programmes to address the specific needs of local communities.
