Our First Steps
The YomoVerse was born out of South Africa’s dual crises of youth unemployment and the high cost of data. For too long, structural barriers excluded young people from the digital economy and fragmented their access to education, jobs, and enterprise opportunities.
Creating the Solution
Yomo, a youth-focused Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), was created as a response — to provide affordable, reliable connectivity. But connectivity alone was not enough. Youth needed a bridge from being “connected” to being empowered, skilled, and economically included.
