Huawei Kenya, a Chinese provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, launched its first sustainability report on Thursday.
The report was released simultaneously with the ongoing UN General Assembly in New York, where global leaders are discussing the progress of the SDGs.
Themed "Kuwa Nawe, Kua Nawe"; "Being with You, Growing with You", the report emphasizes Huawei's ongoing and long-term commitment and support to helping the Kenyan people and the country in general to develop and grow.
The report highlights Huawei's contribution to all the 17 SDGs and the close partnership the company has established with its telecommunications customers, government and enterprise customers, development partners, and ecosystem partners such as universities and community organizations, suppliers, and employees.
According to the report, currently Huawei has employed 400 staffs and has directly created jobs to 2,200 staff through local sub-contractors on whom the company spends over Ksh3.5billion (US$35 million) each year.
The company has trained more than 5,000 people through its East Africa Training Center, Seeds for the Future program, Digital Skills for Life program, ICT Skills Academies and the Presidential Digital Talent Program.
