Somalia’s leading telecommunications company, Hormuud Telecom, has once again been celebrated on the global stage for Excellence Telecommunications and Community Service Award from the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Development by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation at the Future Grow Forum in Nairobi, Kenya.

The telecommunications giant also previously received the prestigious Connecting the Unconnected Award in late last year at Glotel Awards London.

It has also won Global Carrier Award for Best Mobile Innovation in Emerging Markets, owing to its ground-breaking contributions to connectivity and economic development in Somalia.

The award, announced on February 6th 2025, highlights Hormuud’s commitment to bridging the digital divide in one of the world’s most challenging environments.

Despite operating in a region marked by instability, Hormuud has consistently delivered cutting-edge mobile and financial services, including its widely used EVC Plus mobile money platform. This innovation has not only revolutionized financial inclusion but also empowered millions of Somalis by providing access to essential services in their cashless society.

In a statement shared on their official X account, Hormuud expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing their mission to “connect communities and drive progress.”

The company’s success lies in its ability to adapt to local needs while maintaining top-notch world-class standards, a model that has set a benchmark for telecommunications in emerging markets across the globe.

This latest accolade reinforces Hormuud’s position as a trailblazer in the telecom industry, showcasing how innovation can transform lives even in the most difficult circumstances.

As Somalia continues to rebuild gradually, Hormuud’s contributions remain a cornerstone of the nation’s economic and social development.
