Orange Foundation, Digital Center Outlines Major Achievements In 2025

Orange Liberia has outline it’s massive achievement in 2025, surpassing it’s 2024 benchmarks.

Orange Liberia noted that the year was marked by explosive growth and exceptional operational

efficiency.

“We didn’t just meet our new goals; we leaped over our 2024 target of 2,750 beneficiaries, proving that our capacity for impact is expanding exponentially year-over-year. Exceeding 2025 Goals: We reached 3,035 beneficiaries in 2025 alone, representing a 101.17% achievement rate against our annual target.

At a joint press conference over the weekend in Monrovia, Orange Foundation and Digital Center Senior Managers, Madam Uomah Brown Witherspoon, and Zayzay Mulbah, said at Orange Liberia, they believe that connectivity goes beyond technology; connecting people to opportunity, dignity, and hope.

 In her year end report, Madam Witherspoon said: “`As we reflect on 2025, a year themed “Charting a New Course,” the Orange Foundation has remained steadfast in its mission to drive inclusive, sustainable development across Liberia.

Under my leadership, and with our dedicated team, we have translated our core values into measurable social impact.

This year, our strategic commitment, “Engage for Change,” was realized through four core priority areas: Digital Inclusion & Education, Health, Empowerment, and Culture & Sports.

“We received 59 applications and selected 10 schools for a quality-focused intake. This expansion allowed us to achieve 100% national coverage, with a footprint now spanning all 15 counties.”

“Wologizi Computer Lab: In partnership with the Clar Weah Hope Foundation, we established a fully operational lab in Marshall, Margibi County. This facility, equipped with 13 desktop stations and digital learning tools, directly serves 200 girls, providing a dedicated space for distance education and digital literacy.”

WikiChallenge for African Schools: JESCOR Learning Center was named our national winner. This initiative engaged students aged 9–13, resulting in a €2,500 grant and improved digital research skills for over 500 students.”

“We distributed 5,000 school kits across 26 Digital Schools in 7 counties to reduce the financial burden on households and improve student attendance.

Women’s Empowerment We continue to promote economic independence and digital confidence through our Women Digital Centers.

“We successfully launched our 5th training cycle in September 2025, reaching 128 women in Montserrado, Bong, and Grand Bassa Counties.”

“To date, over 400 women have benefited from structured training in literacy, numeracy, and digital skills.”

“These centers are integrated into Community Peace Huts, where we also conduct sessions on peace-building and SGBV (Sexual and Gender-Based Violence) awareness.”

In his report, Zayzay Mulbah said the Orange Digital Center (ODC) remains the heartbeat of Orange Liberia’s commitment to social investment.

“Our mission is unwavering: to empower Liberians with the high-octane digital skills required to dominate the 21st-century economy.”

He said as one of 17 innovation hubs across the Middle East and Africa, Orange Liberia is more than a training center; serving as an incubator for the future.

“We successfully transitioned from foundational development to national scale, consistently outperforming our previous benchmarks.”

“Our team executed 44 training sessions, surpassing our target of 21 by a staggering 209.52%.

September was our “Golden Month” with a peak of 620 beneficiaries.”

He said despite the typical early-year lull, they maintained high-velocity output, meeting or exceeding monthly targets in 50% of the fiscal year.

“Our 2025 reach was deep and diverse. All applications and programs are now seamlessly integrated into the Max It Super App, ensuring every Liberian has a digital doorway to our services.

“While our overall female participation is 36.74%, our Coding School is a trailblazer, reaching a near-parity rate of 47% female enrollment.

Our “Super-Coders” children’s program accounted for 140  participants (4.61%), building the foundation for Liberia’s future tech talent.

“We have aggressively pursued our mandate to ensure that “Monrovia is not Liberia.” In March 2025, we took a giant leap into the Southeast by launching the Second ODC Club at W.V.S. Tubman University in Harper, Maryland.

We jointly executed Liberia’s First Tech Summit in July 2025 and concluded the 2nd Orange Summer Challenge (OSC 2025).

We launched the AI-Powered Career Accelerator for 8 Universities and provided specialized AI optimization training for our EXCOM and WAR Room members, focusing on Personal Branding, LinkedIn Optimization, and the use of Remarkable Tablets.

We tapped into the multi-million-dollar gaming industry by hosting the first-ever EA Sports Tournament in Liberia.

We professionalized our impact through the ODC Internship Framework, the Community Management program, and the launch of the STEM Club – Liberia (supported by Open-Source Liberia) to be fully implemented in 2026.

Hosted specialized Awareness Training and a Hackathon in collaboration with the Cyber Warriors of Liberia in commemoration of the World Cyber-security Day, celebrated annually in October.

One of our flagship innovation programs in 2025 was the Orange Summer Challenge (OSC), marking our 2nd participation in the challenge, which delivered a three-month intensive innovation and entrepreneurship experience combining software and hardware development, business acceleration, and mentorship.

The program attracted 408 applications nationwide, including 256 talent applications across software development, engineering, design, and entrepreneurship, and 152 project-idea submissions spanning health, agriculture, education, renewable energy, social inclusion, and fintech.

From this pool, 20 top talents were selected and structured into four multidisciplinary teams to

develop integrated tech solutions, resulting in four nationally outstanding projects: SmartCoop, an IoT-based smart poultry farming system; RiverWatts, a renewable micro-hydro energy solution for rural electrification; and EllaBot, an AI-enabled healthcare robotics platform. These teams have since advanced into national incubation.

The solution enables early detection, remote diagnostics, data-driven referrals, and community-based screening, significantly improving access to life-saving healthcare services for women and underserved populations, positioning the country on the global innovation stage and demonstrating the transformative power of youth-led, impact driven technology.

Our success is magnified by our elite network of partners, including a Strategic MOU

with the UNDP to scale digital hub infrastructure. Together with UN Women, UNIPOD,

JA Africa/IECD, She-CAN, and the Open Source Team, we are creating an unstoppable engine for growth at Orange Liberia through the ODC.

As we look to 2026, we are focused on stabilizing our quarterly calendars and leveraging the UNDP’s regional presence to ensure our impact reaches every county in Liberia.”
