The Orange Guinea Foundation (FOG) has published its 2024 annual report, showcasing a year of extensive programmes aimed at improving access to education, culture, and healthcare across the country.
Since its creation in 2015, the foundation has focused on equal opportunities for all Guineans, with particular emphasis on the socio-economic integration of women and young people. In 2024, this mission was furthered through a range of initiatives designed to address pressing community needs.
Under its flagship “Acting for Women” programme, the FOG worked with partners and institutions to support women from subsidised Economic Interest Groups (EIGs), providing targeted skill-building opportunities through its network of Digital Houses.
The foundation’s education projects—delivered through Digital Schools, Solidarity Fablabs, STEM sector training, and the establishment of new learning centres—reached more than 700,000 people in 2024. These initiatives aimed to expand access to digital tools, technical skills, and quality learning environments, particularly in underserved areas.
In the cultural sphere, the FOG’s work touched over 51,000 beneficiaries through heritage preservation projects, regional festivals, museum support, talent discovery, and the promotion of Guinean literature. These efforts reinforced the foundation’s role in safeguarding and celebrating the country’s rich cultural identity.
Healthcare remained a core priority, with more than 114,000 people benefiting directly from FOG’s support during the year. Programmes focused on improving community health services, expanding outreach, and addressing critical needs in remote areas.
The 2024 report underscores the foundation’s growing influence in human development. Looking ahead, the FOG has set an ambitious 2025 goal: to strengthen partnerships with local and international organisations in order to implement large-scale, long-term initiatives that deliver lasting, positive change for communities across Guinea.
