Computer rooms and gyms opened with the support of Orange Foundation

Orange continues the realization of its projects aimed at the community development and technological evolution of the regions of Armenia.

This week a number of projects were realized in Syunik and Vayots Dzor regions, including the creation of computer rooms in Martiros and Shaghat villages and furnishing of a gym in Angeghakot village.

Thanks to the 7 computers, printer and Orange MyFi router, each computer center provides computer classes and gives access to the worldwide web to all inhabitants of the village. For the creation of the two computer centers Orange has allotted a total of 4.7 mln AMD.

As part of the same vision of supporting the development of remote and vulnerable communities, the Orange Foundation financed the furnishing of a gym in Angeghakot village, which is equipped with a variety of sports facilities. Presently it can fully meet the requirements set by the sports program of the school. The gym will not only serve the children, but also other local residents, in order to organize sport events and contests. Orange has invested 2.9 mln AMD for the equipment of the gym.

Francis Gelibter, Orange Armenia CEO and Chairman of Board of the Orange Foundation, said:

“Orange has done a lot of efforts to build a modern network in Armenia and to make modern technologies available to everyone. But understanding that not everyone can afford to have a computer at home and have access to internet, we feel it’s our responsibility to support these vulnerable groups, especially in the Armenian regions, where internet is just starting to become an everyday tool. We are also happy to be able to help Armenian communities to organize their sport activities and education processes in a comfortably designed gym.”

The number of gyms equipped with the support of the Orange Foundation in the Armenian villages is already 11 in number.
