From local stories to global knowledge.​
​
Through WikiChallenge, learners are developing digital skills while documenting the histories, cultures, and traditions that shape their communities. Every article created helps preserve Botswana's heritage for generations to come.​
​

Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door.​
​
WikiChallenge empowers learners to research, collaborate, think critically, and contribute to the world's largest source of shared knowledge. More importantly, it gives young people an opportunity to document and celebrate the stories, places, and traditions that make Botswana unique.​
​
Because preserving our heritage starts with sharing it.​
​

Every community has a story worth sharing.​
​
Through WikiChallenge, learners are discovering the power of research, digital literacy, and storytelling while documenting Botswana's rich cultural heritage, local history, and traditions. By preserving knowledge today, we help ensure future generations remain connected to their roots.​
​
Together, we are building a culture of learning, one story at a time.​
​

At Orange Foundation, we believe opportunity begins with skills, and that potential only becomes progress when it's put into practice.

That belief drives the Orange Digital Center, which continues to equip young people across Botswana with the digital skills, mentorship, and platforms to move from learning to doing.

This morning, that mission was on full display as the ODC × Botho Employability Fair opened its 3rd edition. It's one of many touchpoints where the Orange Digital Center meets young people where they are, in classrooms, at build sessions, on stage, and gives them room to grow.

This is what an active Orange Digital Center looks like: consistent, hands-on, and built for impact.

"Kgetse ya tsie e kgonwa ke go tshwaraganelwa."

Together, we can make a lasting difference. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed, and it is through working together that we create brighter futures.

Today, the Orange Botswana Foundation proudly continues its Back to School initiative with the handover of school kits to Selebi-Phikwe Primary School.

Each kit has been thoughtfully packed with essential learning materials, including school bags, exercise books, lunch boxes, pencils, rulers, erasers and sharpeners to ensure learners begin the new school term feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

At Orange Botswana Foundation, we believe that investing in education is investing in the future of our nation. We continue to support learners, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for every child to reach their full potential.

The future isn't something we wait for. It's something we build. 🧡🇧🇼

Today, that future took another bold step forward as the Orange BotswanaFoundation officially launched its 90th Digital School at Mmadinare Primary School.

For every learner who dreams of becoming a doctor, engineer, entrepreneur, teacher or innovator, access to technology is no longer a luxury—it's a gateway to opportunity.

With the donation of 25 tablets, 25 headsets, two Raspberry Pi servers preloaded with upper primary syllabus and various educational content , a laptop, projector and screen, power banks, and multi-socket chargers, Mmadinare Primary School is now equipped to deliver a more interactive, engaging and digitally enabled learning experience.

The occasion was honoured by keynote speaker Honourable Ketlhalefile Motshegwa, Minister of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, whose presence reaffirmed the shared commitment to transforming education through innovation.

Ninety Digital Schools. Thousands of learners reached. Countless futures waiting to be written.

At Orange Botswana Foundation, we believe that when we invest in education, we invest in Botswana's future.

A milestone moment for Serowe. 🇧🇼

Today, we officially opened the doors to the Serowe Digital Hub — a new home for digital skills, learning and innovation in the heart of the community.

Delivered in partnership with SOS Botswana and hosted by Serowe Brigade as a community project, the Hub reflects what's possible when organisations come together around a shared vision for digital inclusion.

The launch was graced by His Excellency Dr. Seretse Khama Ian Khama, former President of the Republic of Botswana, alongside community leaders, partners and stakeholders united in advancing this vision.

This Hub is more than a facility — it's a commitment. A place where young people can learn to code, entrepreneurs can build digital businesses, and communities can access the tools shaping tomorrow's economy.

Serowe is connected. The future is digital. 🧡
