Creating an Imagination Nation

Imagine a world where every South African child has access to the information that they need in order to build a bright future for themselves, their families and communities. Access to education is a basic human right, and every child deserves the opportunity to unlock unlimited potential, not only through the schools they attend but by having the necessary tools that enable them to move forward and create the life they want.

Education is the backbone of South Africa’s future leaders. That’s why Vuma, together with our Internet Service Provider partners, are committed to providing every school we pass in our growing network of neighbourhoods with 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) internet connections. We go into each school and install a fibre line at no cost, and work alongside the Internet Service Provider to ensure that the school reaps the benefits of free, world-class internet access.

This has been a passion project for us since we began the initiative in 2015 when we installed our first fibre line at Parkhurst Primary School in Johannesburg, Gauteng. Since then, we are proud to say that we have connected over 420 schools with fast internet access.  

 We are committed to our ethos that stands firm in the belief that fibre can empower ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Children deserve the opportunity to experience the extraordinary, to be extraordinary and we are committed to helping as many children as possible achieve unbelievable things.

As we move forward, entering new communities and areas around South Africa, we will continue to assist with the educational needs of our country’s children. We wouldn’t be able to do this without the help of our valued Internet Service Provider partners. We work very closely with them to make the magic happen and we would like to thank each partner who is walking this journey with us.
