Apart from Internet connectivity, Orange has also set up a toll-free Orange Money account to be used by its subscribers to make contributions towards those affected by the Westgate mall hostage siege.
The contributions will be channelled to the account dubbed Orange CSR Operational Account through the business number 222222.
For the purpose of this campaign which is raising money in support of the victims of the Westgate siege – the Orange Money Bill Reference is ‘Westgate.’
“These initiatives are part of our solidarity with Kenya and Kenyans as we try to cope with the challenges brought about by the terror
attacks at the Westgate Shopping Mall last Saturday,” CEO Mickael Ghossein said.
Meanwhile the telecom company has launched special international calls rate bundles that will see Orange customers make voice calls for as low as Sh2 per minute to the United States of America, Canada, China, India and the United Kingdom. The same rate will also apply for the United Kingdom’s fixed network.
