Making a positive impact in the Middle East and Africa

In the Middle East and Africa, our mission is to connect 18 countries where networks are limited, and to help people adopt digital tools in meaningful and useful ways. Orange Money is a great example. More than 39.7 million active customers can now send money, pay bills, or shop via their mobile phone. For many, it’s their first experience with financial services. And Orange Money is just the beginning. We also provide affordable, sustainable energy solutions across Africa, with many people generating income thanks to our solar kits, creating opportunities that didn’t exist before.

We connect continents

Beyond Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, Orange helps build and maintain the undersea digital links that connect continents. Our 40 undersea cable systems carry video calls, messages, and data from one continent to another in a matter of milliseconds. In addition, seven specialized vessels sail the seas to maintain these cables. On land, our IP network covers 177 countries, connecting major cities to remote rural areas. Finally, for particularly isolated regions, we also use satellites.
