In its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility, Orange Sierra Leone has extended goodwill gestures to ten mosques across the country as part of its 2025 Ramadan donations. The telecommunications company distributed assorted food items to masjids in Freetown, Bo, Kenema, Kono, and Tonkolili, supporting worshippers during the holy month of Ramadan.
Speaking at the Nurul Haqq Mosque in Goderich, Freetown, during one of the donation ceremonies, Mohamed Santos Bangura, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Officer at Orange Sierra Leone, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to supporting religious institutions during their respective holy periods. He emphasized that this initiative aligns with the company’s core values of care, responsibility, and boldness.
“Orange Sierra Leone has consistently extended goodwill gestures to both mosques and churches during Ramadan and Lent. This year’s selection process was open and fair, ensuring that different communities benefit. However, beneficiaries for this year’s donation may not necessarily be selected next year, as our goal is to impact as many communities as possible,” Bangura stated.
At the Ilmo Zikre Mosque in Hill Station, the Imam, Alhaji Chernor Mohamed Jalloh, expressed gratitude on behalf of the congregation. He commended Orange Sierra Leone for its unwavering support over the past decade, noting that the company has been a consistent partner in supporting religious institutions.
“As the host mosque of Orange Sierra Leone, we have always maintained a strong and cordial relationship with the company. This generous donation comes at a crucial time, especially as worshippers observe the last ten days of Ramadan, which require long hours of prayers and reflection,” Alhaji Jalloh remarked. He also invoked a supplication from the Holy Quran, highlighting the virtues of giving and community support.
Orange Sierra Leone’s Ramadan donations are part of an annual tradition that extends to both Muslim and Christian communities during Ramadan and Lent. The initiative reflects the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and community support.
Key highlights of the donation program include:
• A commitment to donating food items to selected mosques and churches each year.
• An open, competitive, and fair selection process to ensure inclusivity.
• Reinforcement of Orange Sierra Leone’s core values: Care, Responsibility, and Boldness.
