ALAS FOUNDATION AND MILLICOM’S TIGO FOUNDATION FORM A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Stockholm, November 18, 2013 – A strategic partnership has been established
between ALAS Foundation, a movement that encourages the development of early
childhood in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the cellular operator
Millicom, which currently has operations in 15 countries and provides
television, internet and mobile phone services under the Tigo brand for more
than 45 million customers in Latin America and Africa.
This important alliance will have a strong social impact addressing early
childhood needs for vulnerable communities.The partnership was formalized by
Cristina Stenbeck, Executive Chairman of Kinnevik, Millicom's largest
shareholder; Hans-Holger Albrecht, Chief Executive of Millicom; and Juan Antonio
Pungiluppi, Executive Director of ALAS Foundation. Their cooperation signifies
the importance of supporting investment in early childhood development programs
in order to improve a nation’s economy.

Millicom, through its TIGO Foundation, leads social responsibility programs in
different fields and plans to allocate significant resources in aligning its
objectives with ALAS’ mission. The TIGO and ALAS Foundations will mobilize their
resources to support programs and policies that ensure comprehensive quality
care to children under the age of 6, who are the most vulnerable age group in
the region. The alliance will start with the construction of Early Childhood
Development (ECD) Centers in Guatemala, with an investment of up to $ 1.6
million USD.  The project will be supported by the local Tigo Foundation,
jointly funded by Millicom and Mario Lopez Estrada.  The intention is that
Millicom will continue to roll out the Alas ECD centers throughout its Central
American operations."

Juan Antonio Puguiluppi, Executive Director of ALAS Foundation stated: “There
are over 24 million children under the age of six without access to proper
nutrition and to quality early learning programs. As active and engaged members
of society we must work to address this fundamental social inequality. Having a
leading global telecommunications company such as Millicom join this cause is of
great value. We share their vision for closing the digital division through
technology and connectivity.”

Shakira, Colombian artist and ALAS activist, has spoken about raising awareness
for the need to invest in early childhood in many different international
settings. Commenting on the alliance with Millicom, Shakira said: "This alliance
between ALAS and Millicom, proves that the promotion of early childhood needs is
a universal commitment, across all frontiers, without boundaries. It will also
help to motivate other leaders from the private sector to join this initiative.”

Cristina Stenbeck, Executive Chairman of Millicom’s largest shareholder Kinnevik
stated, “I am proud that the Stenbeck family supports the strategic initiatives
of ALAS. Exporting successful proven Colombian models of social entrepreneurship
in partnership with local leaders to other regions of the world is a key
priority for our family. Every child deserves a right to a happy and healthy
childhood full of laughter and play.”

Millicom’s President and CEO, Hans Holger Albrecht stated: “Millicom, through
the Tigo Foundation, embraces every opportunity to empower and educate the next
generation. We look forward to supporting the development of ECD Centers
throughout our markets in Central America and to broadening our alliance with
the ALAS Foundation.”

Mario Lopez Estrada, added: “This is one more concrete manifestation of my
family and Tigo’s commitment to support the integral development of the
Guatemalan youth.”
