Borolong’s digital future is officially in the hands of its brightest young minds.

We wrapped up an incredible Girls in ICT ceremony in Borolong, and the energy was unmatched. What started as a journey of curiosity concluded with our primary school students officially stepping up as the community's newest tech experts. Through hands-on sessions in Robotics, Cybersecurity, Coding, and AI, these brilliant young girls didn't just consume technology, they began creating their own digital solutions.

​This milestone wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of the Borolong leadership, schools, and the warm, welcoming community. Thank you for opening your doors, trusting our vision, and championing the education of these future leaders.

At Orange Digital Center, our mission is clear: ensure no community is left behind in the digital transformation. We aren’t just teaching tech; we’re nurturing the innovators and problem-solvers who will shape tomorrow’s digital landscape right here in Borolong!
