Since December 2020, Orange SL Foundation, in collaboration with the Mama-Pikin Foundation, CAP at Columbia University, and the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, has led a transformative maternal and neonatal health initiative in Sierra Leone’s most vulnerable communities.
Backed by funding from Orange SL, this effort addresses the country’s persistent challenge of high maternal and neonatal mortality rates.
According to official Government of Sierra Leone data, maternal mortality stood at 717 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2019. However, with increased investments and targeted interventions, the figure declined to 354 per 100,000 by 2023 a major improvement, but still among the highest globally.
Many of these deaths remain preventable, often linked to delays in accessing skilled care, poor health infrastructure, and a high rate of home deliveries.
From Pilot to National Impact: Launched in Kossoh Community, the pilot phase of the “Safeguarding Maternal Health Project” focused on holistic care from pregnancy to delivery and postnatal support. Key interventions of Orange and its implementing partner has included:
– Medical screening booths
– Infection prevention and control
– Health education and promotion
– Women’s care linkage
– Provision of baby care kits
After a year, Kossoh recorded a marked reduction in maternal deaths, prompting a full-scale expansion of the project in March 2024.
2020–2024 Achievements:
– Over 12 communities reached across rural and urban districts
– Over 20,000 mothers supported with safe delivery kits
– Introduction of facility-based care incentives to reduce home births
– Strengthened referral systems and improved health center capacities
Delivery Bucket Program: Encouraging Safer Births: The Mama-Pikin Foundation also scaled its impactful Delivery Bucket Program, supplying essential birth kits to pregnant women delivering at health facilities.
Each bucket contains basic hygiene and baby care items that support safe and dignified deliveries. Since early 2024, more than 20,000 delivery buckets have been distributed across targeted communities.
Communities Served Include:
-MMPS Hospital, Masongbo & Panlap CHCs (Makeni)
– Sewafe CHC (Kono), Hangha CHC (Kenema)
– York Village, Grafton, Kossoh Town (Western Area)
– Kailahun, Legbogbor, and Kondembaia (Northern Province)
Public-Private Partnership for National Progress: This initiative underscores the power of public-private partnerships in saving lives. Orange SL Foundation remains deeply committed to supporting national health goals and building healthier futures for Sierra Leonean women and children.
We extend sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, Mama-Pikin Foundation, and all partners for their continued dedication to this vital cause.
In a landmark development that underscores its commitment to empowering its workforce and building long-term sustainability, Orange Sierra Leone has officially announced the launch of an Employee Shareholder Program, giving staff the opportunity to become part-owners of the company.
The initiative was unveiled during a high-level Town Hall Meeting at the company’s Hill Station headquarters on Monday, 26th May 2025, as part of a three-day working visit by Elisabeth Medou Badang, Chief Human Resource Officer for Orange Middle East and Africa (MEA).
The announcement marks a transformative shift in the company’s corporate strategy aligning employee contributions with ownership and providing a new framework for inclusive growth and engagement.
Agnes Songa, Human Resources Director of Orange Sierra Leone, welcomed the MEA HR Chief and described her presence as a profound demonstration of the Orange Group’s values of care, responsibility, and bold leadership. She emphasized that while Sierra Leone is a small affiliate in terms of size, its performance, staff engagement, and impact within the Orange network remain highly significant.
“We may be small in size, but we are strong in voice and performance,” said Songa. “We’re a top-performing affiliate and this visit is a testimony to that. Our CEO, Sekou Amadou Bah, has created an environment where staffs thrive, and this new shareholder initiative takes it a step further.”
CEO Sekou Amadou Bah used the occasion to officially launch the Employee Shareholder Program, describing it as a historic milestone in the company’s journey. He acknowledged the critical role of Elisabeth Medou Badang in guiding the vision and execution of the program.
“This program reflects our strong belief that employees are at the heart of our success,” said Bah. “With this initiative, we are not only recognizing your hard work we are inviting you to share in the company’s future prosperity as shareholders.”
He explained that the initiative allows employees to acquire shares in Orange Sierra Leone, aligning their personal success with that of the company. The move is expected to boost employee morale, drive accountability, and deepen staff loyalty.
In her keynote address, Elisabeth Medou Badang hailed the program as a “bold and visionary step,” reinforcing Orange Sierra Leone’s role as a pacesetter in the MEA region. She congratulated the team for their exceptional performance in employee engagement, innovation, and financial growth.
“I’m incredibly proud of what you have achieved in Sierra Leone,” she said. “You consistently rank at the top in engagement and satisfaction across the MEA region, and now you are leading again with this employee ownership program. This is your company. As Orange grows, so will your wealth not just through salaries, but through dividends and shared success.”
She described the launch of the Employee Shareholding Program as a symbol of trust, empowering staff to become co-creators of value in a company that belongs to them not just in spirit, but now in tangible ownership.
Medou Badang also took time to commend the warm hospitality of Sierra Leoneans, sharing how the country left a remarkable impression on her from the moment she arrived. She encouraged staff to maintain the culture of excellence, innovation, and collaboration that has made Orange Sierra Leone a model affiliate.
“This is your company, your home, and your legacy,” she said. “Continue to build it with pride, commitment, and unity. The sky is not the limit the sky is your next starting point.”
The launch of the Employee Shareholder Program is expected to inspire similar models across the Orange Group’s operations in Africa and the Middle East, signaling a new chapter in employee-centered corporate leadership.

Orange Energy was launched in June 2020. The idea of orange energy was born out of a survey that was conducted to know the immediate need of our customers particularly in rural areas.
The report shows that people were in dire need of energy to provide basic lighting services and to be able to charge their phones to stay connected to their loved ones & business associates.
Orange Energy allows households without access to energy to buy a solar kit with the money they would have spent on candles and oil lamps. They can buy the solar kit by paying small sums via Orange Money each week or each month (pay as you go).
Our business model is Pay as you Go (PAYG) which means that we sell our solar kits on credit. Customers must make an upfront payment plus at least one month subscription fee to start using the service. Further payments are made on monthly basis for a specified period at the end of which the product becomes free for the customer. During this period if the Solar Kits is faulty, which is not the fault of the customer, orange will either repair or replace the device immediately.
This opportunity comes at a time when there is global clamour for the adoption of clean energy. Orange Energy provides reliable and environmentally friendly energy that meets the environmental requirements without compromising the safety of our customers and the future generation.
Orange energy carters for the needs of both urban and rural families that are not connected to the national grid and provides a solution in the event of load shedding.

In a significant step towards strengthening healthcare delivery in rural Sierra Leone, Orange Sierra Leone has officially turn sod for the construction of a fully-funded health centre in Wai Village, Soro Gbeima Chiefdom, Pujehun District, Southern Province of Sierra Leone.
The symbolic turning of the sod ceremony was held on Wednesday, 16th April 2025, and brought together government officials, local authorities, development partners, and community stakeholders. The project, spearheaded and financed entirely by Orange Sierra Leone, aims to improve access to quality healthcare services for residents of the chiefdom and surrounding communities.
In his welcome address on behalf of the paramount chief of the chiefdom, Augustine Jah Zoker, Chiefdom Speaker, Soro Gbeima Chiefdom, described the initiative as a life-changing investment for the people of Wai and neighboring villages, all of which have long struggled with access to basic healthcare services.
“This health centre will not only serve the residents of Wai Village but also support surrounding communities in the chiefdom,” he stated. “It is a major step toward solving the long-standing health challenges our people have endured.”
He noted that the only existing health centre in Wai was severely under-resourced, lacking both equipment and personnel to effectively cater to the growing population. As a result, residents often had to travel long distances to seek medical attention in larger towns, a situation he described as unacceptable in the modern era. Zoker also acknowledged the strong community loyalty to Orange Sierra Leone, revealing that a majority of residents in the area are already subscribers to the network.
“Let me proudly inform Orange Sierra Leone that most of our people here are using your services. With this remarkable support to our community, we assure you that we will continue to support your brand. You are not just a company to us anymore you are a trusted partner in our development journey.”
Sheikh Hussein Feika, speaking on behalf of his elder brother Sheikh Feika Salim, Chief of Staff in the Office of the First Lady, expressed deep appreciation to Orange Sierra Leone for its commitment to enhancing healthcare in the chiefdom.
Feika revealed that his brother, Sheikh Feika Salim, had played a vital role in advocating for the project on behalf of the community through the Office of the First Lady. He noted that the successful lobbying effort resulted in the selection of Wai Village for the construction of the facility.
“For years, the people of Wai Village and neighboring communities have struggled with access to proper healthcare,” Feika said. “Pregnant women, in particular, face great risks, as they are often forced to travel over 100 miles to Pujehun Township to access better-equipped medical facilities. Sadly, many are forced to give birth along the highway, putting both mothers and newborns at serious risk.”
Feika emphasized that the construction of the health centre would be a transformational development for the area, improving health outcomes and saving lives, especially for vulnerable women and children.
Despite the joyous occasion, he mentioned that the community was mourning the recent loss of a beloved resident Ign. Munda Emmanuel Rogers, which slightly overshadowed the celebration. However, due to the significance of the project for the future of the village, the event proceeded as planned.
He concluded by noting that the new health centre when completed will bring relief to thousands of residents in Wai and surrounding villages who have long faced challenges in accessing timely and quality healthcare.
On his part, Sekou Amadou Bah, Chief Executive Officer of Orange Sierra Leone, emphasized that the project is more than just the construction of a building it is a commitment to hope, dignity, and a healthier future.
“Today, we are not only building walls. We are building hope. We are building dignity. We are building a healthier future for every man, woman, and child of this region,” Mr. Bah declared. “At Orange Sierra Leone, we believe true development is about impact supporting communities, empowering individuals, and transforming lives.”
Bah noted that Orange’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) framework rests on three core pillars: health, education, and culture. He highlighted that this health centre stands as a living testament to the company’s promise to make healthcare a right for all, not a privilege for a few.
CEO further stressed that a truly healthy community must also be educated and culturally enriched. “That is why, across the country, we are investing in schools, supporting digital learning, and promoting Sierra Leone’s rich cultural heritage,” he added.
The construction of the Wai Village Health Centre is the result of a collaborative vision supported by the Office of the First Lady, the Ministry of Health, and local leadership. Bah extended appreciation to all stakeholders involved in bringing the project to life, including planners, architects, and the future medical personnel who will serve the facility.
“To the people of Wai Town, this is your project. This is your future. Orange is here not only as a company but as a partner investing in your health, your learning, and your legacy,” Bah concluded.
In his keynote address, Dr. Charles Senessie, Deputy Minister I of Health and Sanitation, lauded Orange Sierra Leone for their support to rural healthcare through the turning of the sod for the construction of a new health centre in Wai Village, Soro Gbeima Chiefdom, fully funded by the company which he described the project as a vital step in complementing the government’s efforts to improve healthcare delivery across the country.
“Government alone cannot do everything,” he said. “We rely on partnerships with the private sector, and Orange is demonstrating a commendable commitment to national development.”
Dr. Senessie explained that the Ministry of Health has adopted a comprehensive, life-saving approach to healthcare that addresses the needs of individuals from pregnancy to old age, instead of focusing on isolated issues.
He emphasized that improving access to health facilities remains a top priority, and the construction of the health centre in Wai Village is aligned with that goal. He also revealed that the Ministry is pursuing an overall strategy to improve quality of life, which is anchored on four key pillars: infrastructure, human resources, medication, and laboratory services.
“Orange Sierra Leone is helping us address one of those key pillars infrastructures,” he noted. “And this will also help complement the other areas such as laboratory services and availability of medication.” Highlighting the impact of improved health infrastructure, Dr. Senessie shared that Sierra Leone has recorded a significant drop in maternal mortality rates.
“In 2014, our maternal mortality rate stood at nearly 1,000 deaths per 100,000 live births. Today, I’m pleased to say we’ve reduced that figure to about 354 per 100,000. That is a major achievement,” he said.
He concluded by stating that the construction of the new health centre in Wai Village will further contribute to reducing maternal and child mortality in the region and enhance access to quality healthcare for surrounding communities.
The project marks a critical milestone in Orange Sierra Leone’s ongoing efforts to bridge healthcare gaps and uplift underserved communities across the country. The event ended with the officially turning of the sod by key dignitaries present.
Orange Sierra Leone (OSL) is committed to providing the best telecommunications services to all Sierra Leoneans.
Orange Sierra Leone PRO, Alfie Barrie commented that “The Company has invested over $50 million in network expansion and modernization and that its significant investment included swapping more than 500+ sites to 4G, even in the most remote area”.
He further stated that “the dedicated technicians worked tirelessly through challenging times and extreme weather conditions to complete these installations, demonstrating commitment to connecting all communities”.
Adding that “the Company acknowledges the disruptions to customers experience that occurred during the network upgrade. Some of the challenges encountered by the operator were also caused by factors such as unavailability of internet service from third-party service providers, malicious damage to the fibre connections and disruptions to the company’s energy supply.”.
Despite these hurdles, Orange is proud to announce that all its sites are now on 4G, providing faster internet speeds and improved quality in voice and data. The Company’s commitment to powering its operations is further demonstrated by an investment of up to $17million on energy optimization.
At a time when telecoms companies are battling with Infrastructural limitations in underserved areas, as rural areas often lack the requisite incentives required to attract high-cost traditional telecommunication sites, which continues to leave huge amount of people deprived off connectivity limiting their economic ability to expand and connect with other businesses, Orange Sierra Leone is excited to announce the launch of its ten (10) new solar powered deep rural sites enhancing connectivity for underserved areas and enabling small businesses to expand and grown through enhanced connectivity opening them up to more opportunities. The 10 deep rural sites are now on air at the following provincial towns: Sahn, Fanima, Tawuya, Pehala, Gbonkonka, Robaka, Mabang Mamutha, Falla, Futta.
Mr Barrie stated that “Orange remains strong and focused despite facing many intimations from the media with intent to tarnish the reputation of and credibility of the brand and considers recent media publications attacking the leadership of the company to be malicious and unfounded. The company’s brand values of care, responsible and bold are firmly rooted in its culture and will continue meet the meets of its customer and provide an unmatched customer experience”.
Orange Sierra Leone remains resolute to increase it network availability across the Country. Orange is Here! Orange De ya!
