Launched by the Grameen Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Foundation and Cr\u00e9dit Agricole SA, Solidarity Bankers is a skills volunteer program open to Group employees that supports microfinance institutions and impactful businesses. The program has a twofold objective: to enhance the skills of Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Group employees and to provide additional support to the Foundation's partner microfinance institutions and businesses. Through this program, the Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Group reaffirms its commitment to supporting employee solidarity initiatives.<\/p>\n

What are Solidarity Bankers?<\/h4>\n

Volunteer missions abroad are offered to employees on behalf of microfinance institutions or social enterprises, partners of the Grameen Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Foundation.<\/p>\n

The missions are carried out through sponsorship or skills-based volunteering. Airfare and insurance are covered by Cr\u00e9dit Agricole SA. Any internal transportation costs, catering, and accommodation expenses are paid by the beneficiary organization. The Grameen Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Foundation will prepare and coordinate the mission.<\/p>\n

Since the launch of the program in 2018, thirteen missions have been carried out, both in sponsorship and skills-based volunteering.<\/p>\n

A mission to be filled!<\/h4>\n

A mission in the IT sector is available for Partner Microcredit Foundation, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from mid-March to mid-May 2020.<\/p>\n

Partner Microcredit Foundation is a non-profit microcredit organization located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Founded by Mercy Corps in 1997 as an NGO, it became a microcredit foundation in 2000. It provides financial services to economically active populations who have limited or no access to financing sources to develop their businesses and improve their living conditions. The institution provides loans through a methodology of individual technical support and microcredit, primarily to micro-entrepreneurs, promotes the participation of women in the business world, and provides easier access to financial services in rural areas.<\/p>\n
