Impact & growth
Growth that leaves communities better served
Palm was born from a community need. As we grow, we intend to deepen our contribution to Tanzania’s economic development.
Social & economic contribution
Business growth should benefit the wider economy
Our first business brought telecommunications and payment services to rural communities that had to travel long distances for them. That instinct, to solve practical problems people actually face, still shapes how we choose where to grow.
Through our operations we contribute to
- Improved access to telecommunications services
- Increased access to mobile financial services
- Agricultural value-chain development
- Movement and distribution of goods
- Business and trade development
- Employment and entrepreneurship
- Improved access to products and services
