Supporting women in their business ventures  


Three women in the street are selling cassava.

With the Digital Centers, the Foundation trains women to help them master the digital world and become more independent. We have now gone a step further by launching the “Empowerment Ô Féminin” project in partnership with Orange Bank Africa and the Orange Côte d’Ivoire Foundation (FOCI). The aim is to support women’s projects to set up and develop their own micro-businesses, once they have completed their training at the Digital Centers. We offer them access to microcredit and entrepreneurial coaching. Following the pilot launched in 2024 in Côte d’Ivoire, the aim is to offer this project more widely in the African and Middle Eastern countries in which Orange operates.
