At Bayobab, our mission of Connecting Africa goes far beyond digital infrastructure - it’s about building bridges of opportunity, inclusion, and empowerment across the continent. This year’s Y’ello Care 2025 campaign was a powerful reflection of that mission in action.
Under the theme “Connecting at the Roots,” our teams across Africa and the Middle East came together with purpose, passion, and heart to give back to the communities that inspire and sustain us. From digital literacy to sustainability, from youth empowerment to health and wellness, every initiative was a step toward a more connected and inclusive Africa.
A legacy of impact
Y’ello Care is more than a campaign, it’s a legacy of being a responsible corporate citizen. It’s about showing up, year after year, to uplift communities and create lasting change. In 2025, our teams demonstrated what is possible when we act with intention and unity.
Highlights from across our footprint
Here’s how our teams brought the spirit of Y’ello Care to life:

A collective effort
This impact would not have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers, the support of our leadership, and the collaboration of our partners. Together, we have shown that connecting at the roots means investing in people, communities, and the future of Africa.
Looking ahead
As we look to the future, we are excited to build on this momentum. Y’ello Care 2025 has reminded us that real impact happens when we connect with purpose. Bayobab is committed to continue to connect, empower, and transform, one community at a time.
