ROBI- Save the Children join hands for nationwide digital literacy drive

Robi Axiata PLC and Save the Children in Bangladesh have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly promote digital inclusion and skills development among adolescents and young people nationwide.

The agreement was recently signed in Dhaka by ASM Rahmat Ullah, interim Deputy Country Director of Save the Children in Bangladesh, and Shahed Alam, Chief Corporate and Regulatory Officer of Robi Axiata PLC.

The partnership aims to equip young people with the skills and expertise needed to navigate and thrive in the digital economy. Under the initiative, participants from across Bangladesh will receive training in digital skills, entrepreneurship, and freelancing, along with access to internet connectivity and digital tools to support their learning and engagement.

Robi and Save the Children will also collaborate on school-based programmes to strengthen digital literacy, enhance the capacity of youth-focused community hubs, and raise awareness through innovative digital platforms.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, ASM Rahmat Ullah said, "Digital education and inclusion are essential to unlocking the potential of Bangladesh's young population. Many young people still lack access to technology. Through this initiative, we aim to enhance their skills while creating opportunities that help them become socially and economically self-reliant."

Shahed Alam said, "We are committed to using technology to bring about positive social change. Building digital competence and employability among youth remains a top priority for us. This collaboration with Save the Children will expand digital inclusion across Bangladesh and help young people build a more prosperous future."
