In an age where digital connectivity is a lifeline to opportunity, Brastorne has achieved a milestone that speaks volumes about its mission: connecting 760 million Africans who lack meaningful access to today’s digital world. With over 5 million lives impacted across Africa, Brastorne has not only connected people to the digital world but also transformed their lives, offering new pathways to knowledge, opportunity, and growth.
Reaching the Unconnected
Africa’s digital divide has long posed a challenge to progress, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Brastorne’s innovative approach leverages accessible technologies such as USSD, SMS, and VOICE to provide services that empower communities where traditional internet access is unavailable or unaffordable. This low-tech, high-impact strategy ensures that even the most remote users can benefit from critical information and services.
Through platforms like mAgri.Brastorne has created inclusive solutions that address real challenges. From helping farmers access market information to offering affordable health tips and enabling safety alerts in communities, Brastorne’s services resonate deeply with the needs of everyday Africans.
Scaling for Social Impact
Brastorne’s journey to impacting 5 million lives is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration, by partnering with organizations like Heifer International, Orange, Mascom and MTN, Brastorne has scaled its solutions across Botswana, the DRC, Cameroon, Guinea, and Zambia.
This milestone also highlights the potential for tech-driven social impact, by delivering services that people need in formats they can use, Brastorne has shown that digital inclusion is not just an ideal but a practical, achievable reality.
The Road Ahead
While 5 million is an incredible achievement, Brastorne’s journey is far from over. We aim to expand its reach to 49 million lives in the next few years, introducing more innovative, tailored solutions to the evolving needs of marginalised communities in Africa. Plans are underway to enter new markets, deepen partnerships, and continue to innovate to bridge the digital divide.
This milestone belongs not only to Brastorne but to its users, partners, and stakeholders who have been part of the journey. Together, they have shown what’s possible when technology meets purpose that extremely improves the lives of underserved communities.
