Yas Social

A curated collection of things worth wearing, watching, reading, visiting and trying this month.

Our 1 year
Anniversary

Earlier this year, we marked one year of Yas with celebrations across the country alongside our employees, customers and partners including rewarding lucky winners with an unforgettable trip to Dubai. It was also a moment to reflect on a remarkable first year of expanding the Mtandao wa Viwango, growing our digital ecosystem, earning recognition among Africa’s leading brands and strengthening our commitment to becoming Tanzania’s true digital ally. The celebration has only just begun!

Watch the highlights and see how we celebrated our first year as Yas.

Building the Leaders of Tomorrow

Since 2021, the Yas Graduate Development Program has been nurturing Tanzania’s emerging talent through hands-on learning, mentorship, and leadership development. This year’s cohort of 31 graduates was selected from more than 2,000 applicants, reflecting the program’s growing impact and commitment to developing the country’s future workforce.

Here is our newest Graduate Development Program cohort and when you meet them in the corriders, don’t forget to give them a warm Yas welcome!

Our impact to the community

At Yas we celebrate the positive impact we create together through community engagement, social responsibility, and initiatives that transform lives across Tanzania.

Innovation Corner

AI Breakthrough

Google Veo 3

Google’s latest AI video model, Veo 3, generates high-quality videos complete with realistic dialogue, sound effects and background music from a single text prompt. By combining visuals and audio in one model, it significantly reduces the time needed to create marketing content, training materials and creative storytelling.

Telecom Innovation

AI-RAN

AI-RAN (Artificial Intelligence Radio Access Network) is an emerging telecom technology that allows mobile network infrastructure to power both connectivity and AI workloads on the same hardware. This enables operators to optimize network performance in real time, improve energy efficiency and unlock new AI-powered services without deploying separate infrastructure.

Future Innovation

Joby Aviation Air Taxis

Joby Aviation is preparing to launch electric air taxi services in Dubai, with commercial operations expected to begin soon. Designed to carry passengers above city traffic, the aircraft can complete journeys that would normally take around 45 minutes by road in as little as 12 minutes, offering a glimpse into the future of urban transportation.

Northern Region

The Mwanza East Islands Domination Project completed its first phase by reaching six islands served by seven network sites, with a team of 23 sales representatives and one team leader. Despite a seven-day delay caused by funding challenges and difficult lake conditions, the activation strengthened Yas' presence across remote island communities and laid the foundation for continued commercial expansion in the Lake Zone.

The project delivered measurable commercial impact, with Yas market share increasing by 6.68% while Vodacom declined by 7.93%, recording gains across 18 of the 20 sites in the targeted islands. Building on these results, the next phase will expand field operations with a team of 32 Freelancers, one LKS Agent, one MYSF, and one Team Leader, alongside sustained monthly boat visits to reach the 36 remote islands of Ukerewe that are inaccessible by road.

Southern Region

During the first half of 2026, the Southern Region strengthened Yas' presence through a combination of network expansion, community engagement and commercial activations. Key initiatives included the launch of the Yas Shop in Mtwara Urban, participation in the Kilwa Eye Clinic, forest conservation marathon and bike race in Rukwa and supporting education through the provision of free CPE connectivity to Anna Abdallah Secondary School and Abeid Primary School in Ndanda. The Southern team also donated sanitary pads to more than 150 students at Kitangari Teachers College.

Coastal Region

During the first half of 2026, the Coastal Region expanded Yas' network through new 4G and 5G site launches, while strengthening customer engagement through Yas Uni Star, Pimp My Room university activations, Absa Dar City Marathon, Pugu Marathon, Fumba Fun Run, and campaigns including Yas Mass Iftar at Kariakoo and Mabibo Markets, Corporate Iftar in Zanzibar, Zanzibar International Fair, Magift ya Mixx Pesa, and Smartphone Clinics. Team Leader and Freelancer Sales Conventions also helped boost frontline performance across Dar South, Dar North and Zanzibar.

Commercial activations continued through market animations and night attacks, contributing to a +6% customer acquisition improvement, while Yas maintained approximately 35% CMS market leadership and recorded the strongest SOGA growth (+8 percentage points over six months) in the region, reinforcing Coastal Region's contribution to Yas' commercial success.

Yas Free Eye Camps: Bringing the Gift of Sight to Communities

Through the Yas Free Eye Camps, implemented in partnership with KSI Charitable Eye Clinic, we continue to improve access to quality eye care for underserved communities across Tanzania. The initiative provides free eye screenings, consultations, medication, glasses, and cataract surgeries, helping individuals lead healthier, more productive lives through better vision.

Since its launch, the program has positively impacted thousands of Tanzanians, with over 16,000 patients reached in 2024 and more than 18,000 in 2025. In 2026 alone, 2,286 patients were screened in Iramba and 2,783 in Kilwa Kivinje, with more communities set to benefit through upcoming camps, including a major outreach during the Saba Saba Exhibition in Dar es Salaam. Through this initiative, Yas continues to make a meaningful difference by supporting healthier, more empowered communities across the country.

CSR IMPACT | MARCH 2026

Every tree planted is an investment in generations to come. Through the Yas Green for Kili initiative, in partnership with WWF Tanzania, we continue restoring the vital ecosystems surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro while protecting water sources that support thousands of families. Beyond planting more than 100,000 trees over the life of the programme, the initiative is inspiring environmental stewardship through schools, communities and employee volunteerism, creating a lasting impact for both people and the planet.

COMMUNITY IMPACT | 2026

Great businesses begin with great ideas and the right support. Through the Yas FTCC Startups za Viwango programme, Yas is empowering emerging entrepreneurs with practical business skills, digital knowledge, leadership training and investment readiness. By equipping startups to grow sustainable businesses, create employment and drive innovation, the programme reflects our commitment to accelerating Tanzania's digital economy and empowering communities through meaningful opportunity.
