A Journey of Impactful Participation

2019: A Promising Start

Conexus first participated in WTISD in 2019, marking a significant milestone shortly after the launch of ATLEGA Mobile Education. During this event, Conexus representatives had the privilege of showcasing the educational USSD app to His Excellency Dr. Mokgweetsi E. K Masisi. This demonstration underscored the app's capacity to transform the educational landscape by offering affordable and accessible learning resources to all students, including those who cannot afford private tutoring services.

2022: Advocating for Digital Inclusion

In 2022, Conexus commemorated WTISD at the Mmathubudukwane Police Grounds. The focus of this event was on breaking the cycles of exclusion and narrowing the digital divide—an ethos that Conexus fervently champions. By advocating for accessible, affordable, and inclusive education, Conexus aligns itself with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which emphasizes quality education for all.

2023: Empowering Through ICT

The 2023 WTISD celebration at the Ramotswa Show Grounds revolved around the theme "Empowering the Least Developed Countries through Information and Communication Technologies." Conexus' participation highlighted its dedication to empowering underprivileged communities through innovative ICT solutions.

2024: Innovating for Sustainable Development

In 2024, Conexus joined the WTISD commemoration in Pandamatenga under the theme “Digital Innovation for Sustainable Development.” This participation not only showcased Conexus' commitment to sustainable practices but also demonstrated how digital innovation can drive educational progress and societal growth.
