Tivaouane : La Fondation Sonatel déploie internet et le Wi-Fi à la Grande Mosquée et forme 100 jeunes
The Sonatel Foundation, in partnership with the Jama-Atoun-Assouniya association, officially received on Thursday, June 4, 2026, the digital modernization work of the Great Mosque of Tivaouane and several surrounding places of worship.
The ceremony took place in the presence of religious and administrative authorities of the holy city, as well as Mrs. Awa Niang, Director of Communication and External Relations of Sonatel, representing the Director General, Brelotte Ba.
Thanks to funding from the Sonatel Foundation, the project now provides the religious site with comprehensive connectivity, including telephone, high-speed internet, and Wi-Fi, along with the necessary equipment. This infrastructure aims to strengthen the spiritual influence of Tivaouane, while improving the organization and security of large religious gatherings, particularly the upcoming Mawlid celebration scheduled for August.
Alongside this inauguration, Sonatel, through Orange Digital Center, also launched a training program for 100 young people from Tivaouane, focused on entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence.
“For Sonatel, connectivity is not just a technology; it is a tool for transmitting knowledge, bringing people closer together and creating opportunities,” said Awa Niang.
Speaking on behalf of the Caliph General of the Tijaniyya order, Serigne Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Sy welcomed this initiative, describing it as a moment of joy and gratitude. Conveying the thanks of Serigne Babacar Sy Mansour, he emphasized the strategic importance of this system for the activities of the religious community and major events in the city of Tivaouane, before offering prayers for the success of Sonatel and its foundation.
Through this initiative, the Sonatel Foundation reaffirms its commitment to digital citizenship and the socio-economic, cultural and religious development of Senegal.
