African Agriculture Inc. Receives Computer Donation from Sportradar Group to Empower Education in Senegal Schools
17 Janeiro 2024 - 11:00AM
African Agriculture, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAGR), a pioneering company
operating a commercial-scale alfalfa farm in Senegal and dedicated
to food security for the coming century, announced that it
teamed up with global sports technology company Sportradar to
supply computers to primary and secondary schools in rural
communities in northern Senegal.
This educational initiative has set up computer study rooms for
students to access the internet and will contribute to closing the
digital literacy gap in Senegal. World Bank country-level studies
on Nigeria, Senegal, and Tanzania have analyzed the impact of
mobile internet availability (3G or 4G coverage) on jobs, including
the poor and most vulnerable. Studies show that internet
availability and more sophisticated digital technologies lead to
more and better jobs for lower-income, lower-skilled people,
reducing poverty. 1
“Collaborating with Sportradar aligns with our goals for
community development and educational empowerment,” said Alan
Kessler, CEO and Founder of African Agriculture, Inc. “Supplying
computers to rural schools in Senegal bridges gaps in education and
technology. Together, we're unlocking a brighter future for the
next generation and empowering African farmers and communities,
driving local economic growth and the green revolution—an
embodiment of African Agriculture’s mission.”
"We are pleased to collaborate with African Agriculture, Inc. to
equip schools in rural northern Senegal with computers,“ said Kyle
Burnette, Director of IT Operations, who led the initiative at
Sportradar. “By establishing these computer study rooms and
providing internet access, we're fostering an enhanced educational
landscape for Senegalese students. This collaboration underscores
our belief in leveraging technology to empower the next generation,
enabling them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected
world."

population surge to 9.6 billion by 2050, African Agriculture’s
