What do we do, exactly?

Microsoft researches technology needs and develops relevant software products to ensure that everyday technology experiences are made simpler and quicker. We hope to help you save time, help you think more creatively, and assist you in realizing your individual potential, as well as allowing the people around you to realise theirs. This company mission fuels our efforts to bring relevant, accessible and affordable technologies to customers and to society as a whole in Africa. We try to pave the way to individual economic empowerment and personal satisfaction, while working to achieve a competitive future for the continent.

However, we are not only about business.

We have a responsibility to use our expertise, our people and our influence to positively impact the lives of people who are currently underserved by technology. We understand how lives can be changed with access to locally-relevant technology. We are therefore committed to tailor-making solutions that impact the communities in which we conduct our business.

So, how do we help?

Microsoft is committed to developing partnerships with like-minded individuals, governments, nongovernmental organisations, communities and other businesses. We hope that through our commitment to working with others, we will be able to play a part in harnessing Africa’s competitive spirit. We have already achieved success with this approach. With enormous personal commitment, dedication, expertise and a passion for technology, today more than one billion people around the world have access to the benefits of technology.
