Solidarity bankers: a new mission to be filled in Senegal

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

What are the Solidarity Bankers missions?

Volunteer missions abroad are offered to employees on behalf of microfinance institutions or social impact companies, partners of the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation.

The missions are carried out through sponsorship or skills-based volunteering. Airfare and insurance are covered by Crédit Agricole SA. Any internal transportation costs, meals, and accommodation are paid by the beneficiary organization. The Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation will prepare and coordinate the mission.

Since the launch of the program in 2018, fourteen missions have been carried out, both in sponsorship and skills-based volunteering.

A mission to be filled!

A ten-day HR support field mission is available for Oshun in Senegal for the last quarter of 2020.

Oshun Senegal was founded in March 2018, shortly after its parent company, Oshun, in France. Oshun offers inclusive solutions that provide access to water to the most vulnerable populations while promoting the establishment of a virtuous local community ecosystem. The company stands out for its innovations in rural development, connectivity, and water treatment.

Oshun Senegal has grown from 1 to 20 employees in just over 2 years (June 2018 – August 2020). Oshun Senegal is completing a structuring process, including the recruitment at the end of August of an Administrative and Financial Manager (AFM) whose mission will be to manage all of Oshun Senegal's support functions (accounting, finance, HR, logistics, purchasing) and to enable the company to gain administrative autonomy from the parent company.
