Sonatel Launches Orange Digital Center Club in Touba to Empower Youth
Through this new milestone, Sonatel reaffirms its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), placing youth and training at the heart of its strategy.
Sonatel, in partnership with the Sheikh Ahmadoul Khadim Complex, is officially launching the activities of the Orange Digital Center Club of Touba, a new space dedicated to digital training, technological innovation and youth entrepreneurship.
This initiative is part of the Orange Digital Center programme, an integrated scheme that brings together all the skills necessary for the development of young people in the digital professions.
After the successful establishments in Saint-Louis, Bambey, Ziguinchor and Diamniadio, Touba in turn hosts a space of excellence that reinforces the territorial network of ODC Clubs across the country.
A strong anchoring in the values of the city of Touba
Located in the holy city of Touba, this new space is inspired by the founding values of Mouridism — work, knowledge and service to the community — which today find a natural extension in the digital economy.
By combining spirituality, innovation and human development, the Orange Digital Center Club (ODC Club Touba) reflects Sonatel’s desire to put technology at the service of the common good and to create concrete opportunities for local youth.
Orange Digital Center Club: a learning and innovation ecosystem for young people
Located in the modern premises of the Cheikh Ahmadoul Khadim Complex, the ODC Club Touba offers an inspiring environment, equipped to foster creativity, collaboration and skills development.
The young people benefit from comprehensive support through:
- Practical training and workshops on digital and technological skills;
- Mentoring sessions led by digital and entrepreneurship experts;
- Personalized support to transform their ideas into innovative projects at the service of their community.
Sonatel, a player committed to digital inclusion and youth
Through this new milestone, Sonatel reaffirms its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), placing youth and training at the heart of its strategy.
The ODC Club Touba thus reinforces the Group’s action to:
- Reducing the digital divide between territories;
- Fostering Youth Inclusion and Empowerment ;
- Supporting Senegal’s digital transformation as part of the New Deal for Technology.
ODC Club Touba is thus positioned as an essential lever for digital inclusion, knowledge sharing and the promotion of local entrepreneurship.
