The millions of opportunities available to young people, women and entrepreneurs through our free initiatives for inclusion are also seeds of change.
Orange Middle East and Africa (OMEA) is deeply committed to the regions it serves. Guided by responsible and ethical corporate governance, we continuously drive innovation. Our reliable infrastructure enables the development of value-generating technologies and services. These technologies are deployed with a low-carbon, maximum solar energy approach, supported by substantial annual investments exceeding one billion euros.
Our 18,000 employees across 17 countries provide services that foster social, digital, financial, and energy inclusivity, benefiting not only our 149 million customers but also the broader community. These services empower individuals to confidently shape their desired future.
The extensive array of opportunities accessible to young individuals, women, and entrepreneurs through our complimentary inclusion initiatives serve as catalysts for positive change. These initiatives encompass digital literacy training, reskilling programs aimed at reducing unemployment, and assistance in securing employment, launching startups, or developing income-generating activities.
The success of these initiatives is evident in the substantial number of beneficiaries, including over one million participants in the Orange Digital Center program, 600,000 students enrolled in digital schools, and thousands of women supported annually by the Orange Foundation's Digital Centers.
As a dedicated local player, OMEA is committed to fostering shared and sustainable development. We make substantial contributions to national GDPs while prioritizing the needs of local communities and environmental preservation. Our 17 subsidiaries and their employees actively participate in reforestation initiatives tied to local socio-economic development. Additionally, we strive to enhance living conditions and provide access to healthcare, sports, and cultural activities, thereby bolstering the resilience of vulnerable populations.
Orange Middle East and Africa and its employees are here and are determined to work with all stakeholders to achieve high-impact developments for the benefit of individuals, society and the planet. They invite us to join them and take action by exploring their #OrangeEngageforChange program and platform.
