Solidarity

Working for the well-being of communities

The Orabank Group, faithful to its vocation for the well-being of communities in the host countries, carries out various solidarity actions through its subsidiaries and branches. The Orabank group is committed to organizing community and charitable events and supporting projects related to education and sport.

We are committed, alongside public institutions, associations and NGOs, as well as civil society, to promoting a more equitable and inclusive society. This is how the Orabank Group is committed to growing together, and for Africa.

Categories of solidarity actions:

  • Donation of materials to school, health and vulnerable child protection facilities
  • International Day of the Girl Child Support Project for Victims of Sexual Violence
  • Rolling Stock Initiative for Women with Disabilities, spearheaded by Orabank staff
  • Institutional partnerships: Universities, UNICEF Christmas trees and NGO donations
  • Financing computer purchases for deserving students and lunches for underprivileged schoolchildren
  • Vaccination and control campaigns against the Ebola epidemic
  • Reforestation and environmental remediation actions
  • Free screening days for diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, etc.
  • University partnerships to ensure access to higher education for all

And among these action categories, the most recent:

  • In 2022, Orabank Mali was alongside the National Blood Transfusion Center for a blood drive.
  • Orabank Mali has handed over a check worth 1,000,000 CFA francs to the Fondation pour l’Enfance. This donation is a contribution to the expansion of the emergency and resuscitation department of the Mother-Child Hospital in Luxembourg.

It was in a warm and friendly atmosphere that the children, orphanage officials, and women of the Bank exchanged and shared a snack.
  • Every year during the holy month of Ramadan, Orabank Mauritania donates food to NGOs. The choice is based on a study of the file and an interview (understanding the involvement and sincerity) with the members of the NGOs.

Local Communities

Promoting community development
In each of its host countries, the Orabank Group participates, supports and initiates citizen actions. They must demonstrate their sustainable and supportive nature, and are evaluated upstream to ensure the seriousness of their protagonists and the proper coverage of the need for vulnerable populations. As a human bank, committed and citizen, we invest in local people and communities.

The Orabank Group, faithful to its vocation for the well-being of communities in the host countries, carries out various solidarity actions through its subsidiaries and branches.
