Orange MEA's Commitment to Inclusive and Sustainable Development

The numerous opportunities available to young people, women, and entrepreneurs through OMEA’s free initiatives are also significant seeds of change.

Orange Middle East and Africa (OMEA), a leading telecom and digital services provider, is deeply embedded in the regions it serves, operating with a commitment to responsible and ethical corporate governance. Through continuous innovation and reliable infrastructure, OMEA is fostering the development of value-creating technologies and services that support social, digital, financial, and energy inclusion. These initiatives are being implemented with a focus on low-carbon, solar energy concepts, backed by annual investments exceeding one billion euros.

OMEA's 18,000 employees across 17 countries deliver services that act as catalysts for change, benefiting not only their 149 million customers but also empowering broader communities to shape their futures confidently. These efforts reflect OMEA's long-term commitment to inclusive and sustainable development in Africa and the Middle East.

Empowering Through Digital Literacy and Entrepreneurship

The numerous opportunities available to young people, women, and entrepreneurs through OMEA's free initiatives are also significant seeds of change. Programs include digital literacy, training in new job skills to combat unemployment, and support for job seekers, startups, and income-generating activities. This is evidenced by the impact of the Orange Digital Center program, which has benefited over one million individuals, and the involvement of 600,000 students in digital schools. Furthermore, the Orange Foundation's Digital Centers support thousands of women annually.
