Orange Côte d’Ivoire has officially launched the seventh cohort of its Generation Orange program, an academic excellence initiative aimed at supporting outstanding students from low-income families. The launch ceremony brought together beneficiaries, partners, and representatives of the Orange Côte d’Ivoire Foundation.

The Generation Orange program provides selected students with scholarships, personalized mentoring, and essential school equipment, as part of a broader effort to combat school dropout and promote equal access to education. Through this initiative, the Orange Côte d’Ivoire Foundation continues to strengthen its long-standing commitment to social inclusion and youth empowerment through education.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Orange Côte d’Ivoire, Mamadou Coulibaly commended the beneficiaries for their dedication and perseverance. He described the certificates awarded as recognition of the students’ discipline, commitment, and academic effort, encouraging them to remain resilient in the face of challenges and uncertainty.

Mr. Coulibaly reaffirmed Orange Côte d’Ivoire’s commitment to standing alongside the students throughout their academic journey, not only by providing support but also by giving them visibility to ensure their talents are recognized. He noted that the ceremony served both as a moment of recognition and a platform to showcase the potential of young people who, despite challenging circumstances, continue to demonstrate excellence.

The Generation Orange program remains a key pillar of Orange Côte d’Ivoire’s corporate social responsibility agenda, with a focus on nurturing future leaders and expanding opportunities for talented youth across the country.
