Lesotho Foundation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry
of Information, Communications, Science, Technology and Innovation to ensure
the long-term sustainability of the Insight Centre, a 4G-enabled digital

resources aimed at restoring independence and enabling full participation in
society. Under the renewed agreement, Vodacom Lesotho Foundation will take full
financial responsibility for the Centre’s operations from 2026 to 2029 and
implement structured capacity-building and awareness programs to promote
digital inclusion and social equity.
The
partnership reflects a shared commitment to Lesotho’s national digital
transformation agenda, emphasizing inclusive, sustainable, and people-centered
progress in technology and education.
