Digital inclusion that reaches the people too often left behind.
The Chamber of Marginalized Groups Inclusion drives social and digital inclusion by targeting underserved and marginalized populations across Africa. It enables learning, communication, work, and productivity irrespective of disability, geographic location, or socioeconomic status, while overcoming systemic and structural barriers to technology adoption.
The chamber's vision is a society where technology meets everyone where they are, when and how they need it, towards a productive and healthy relational society.
Its mission is to build digital inclusion as a culture that thinks, considers, grows, and empowers marginalized communities for a safer society.
The Chamber acts to drive social inclusion through digital inclusion by targeting the diverse nature of populations in society. It enables the ability to learn, communicate, work, effectively socialize, and be productive irrespective of any conditional ties.
It caters to populations less considered in adopting and growing with various forms of technology in various contexts of needs and aspirations at individual or community levels. This helps overcome systemic, structural, historical, or cultural barriers within governance and societal norms.
The chamber also aims to instill a sense of human support, self-reliance, and connectedness, reducing harmful addictive behaviours related to technology and promoting mental, emotional, and psychological growth.
The chamber's general operations encompass awareness and innovation initiatives promoting digital security and productivity among marginalized communities. It maintains an inclusive culture that leaves no one behind regardless of psychological, mental, physical, or regional barriers.
