New Solidarity Banker missions in Cambodia and Kenya

At the initiative of the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation and Crédit Agricole SA, "Solidarity Bankers" volunteer skills assignments are being offered to Crédit Agricole Group employees on behalf of organizations supported by the Foundation. Two new Solidarity Banker assignments are available for PPSE in Cambodia and ACRE Africa in Kenya.

PPSE is a social enterprise that employs young artists from disadvantaged backgrounds and offers them career opportunities in circus arts by combining the best of Cambodian cultural traditions and contemporary circus. PPSE extends and expands the work of the Phare Ponleu Selpak NGO by offering real career opportunities to professional artists from the Phare School while providing additional financial resources to the NGO to help it develop its social mission.

PPSE now needs to develop and expand its digital community and position its new range of services and activities. The organization aims to explore and maximize the use of social and traditional media, train its staff, and expand its reach as much as possible. The Solidarity Banker's mission will be to support PPSE, particularly in the diagnosis and implementation of a new marketing and communications strategy.

ACRE Africa is a social enterprise operating in Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania. The organization makes agricultural insurance accessible to small farms and for very low insured amounts, thanks to a triple innovation: index insurance; distribution by aggregators; and payment by mobile money. ACRE thus allows small farms to access credit on more favorable terms.

Having decided to diversify its activities to offer consulting services, ACRE now needs to expand its clientele and highlight its new range of services and activities. The organization wishes, among other things, to explore and maximize the use of social and traditional media, and to train its staff. The Solidarity Banker will be responsible for supporting ACRE Africa in assessing the organization's marketing and communications strategy and tools in order to propose a new strategy and appropriate tools.

Other missions are also still available: 

• Risk and compliance mission on behalf of the microfinance institution SEF (South Africa)
