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.

In November 2022, thanks to the mobilization and generosity of all its staff, Orabank Mali donated food to the Malian Association of the Mentally Deficient (AMALDEME) and the NIABER orphanage
