POSB drives digital inclusion in Zimbabwe’s education sector

The People’s Own Savings Bank (POSB), in partnership with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, has launched a digital inclusion initiative aimed at transforming Zimbabwe’s education sector through sustainable energy and connectivity solutions.

The bank’s Solar and Starlink Loan Facility, officially launched in Harare yesterday, is designed to provide affordable access to clean solar energy and high-speed internet for schools and educators across the country.

POSB stated that the initiative targets both urban and rural institutions, with a strong focus on bridging the digital divide that continues to hinder educational progress—particularly in remote areas where access to electricity and internet connectivity remains a significant challenge.
