Orange Foundation, in partnership with SOS Children’s Villages in Liberia, has officially launched a state-of-the-art Computer Lab for Innovation and Development, marking a significant milestone in advancing digital inclusion and skills development for children and young people in Liberia.
The newly commissioned facility is designed to bridge the digital divide by providing access to modern technology, digital learning tools, and innovation-driven opportunities. It aims to inspire creativity, enhance learning, and equip young minds with essential digital skills needed to succeed in today’s fast-evolving digital world.
Speaking during the launch ceremony held over the weekend in Sinkor, Orange Foundation Senior Manager, Ms. Uomah Brown-Witherspoon, encouraged students to take ownership of the computer lab and urged the surrounding community to ensure it delivers lasting impact.
“This initiative goes beyond providing computers,” she noted. “It represents a bold commitment to digital inclusion, empowerment, and building a brighter future for Liberia’s next generation. Today marks the beginning of a journey whose impact will extend far beyond these walls—shaping careers, communities, and our digital future.”
Also speaking at the event, Mr. B. Yeanay Wilson, Manager of SOS Children’s Villages in Liberia, described the launch as a decisive step toward innovation, skills development, and digital empowerment.
According to Mr. Wilson, the partnership between Orange Foundation and SOS Children’s Villages stands as a beacon of creativity and transformation, dedicated to nurturing talent, sparking ideas, and equipping young people with practical digital skills that enhance innovation and employability.
This collaboration underscores Orange Foundation’s ongoing commitment to using technology as a force for good, empowering communities, and supporting sustainable development through education and innovation across Liberia.
