To launch the 2019 edition of Centimes solidaires, the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, Crédit Agricole SA and CA Centre-est are welcoming Rania, an entrepreneur and Syrian refugee supported through the operation, to the Montrouge Campus on November 4.

After leaving Syria and thanks to Entrepreneurs du Monde's ICI (Incubation, Creation, Inclusion) project, funded through Centimes Solidaires, Rania was able to create her own catering service to showcase her country's traditional cuisine. Come chat with Rania and sample her culinary specialties.

Solidarity cents

Launched in 2018 by the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, Crédit Agricole SA and CA Centre-est, Centimes solidaires aims to finance entrepreneurial projects by mobilizing Crédit Agricole employees who are invited to donate 50 cents when paying for their meal in collective restaurants.

Thanks to the support of Crédit Agricole employees, €7,000 was donated to Entrepreneurs du Monde in 2018 to finance the ICI Project, which supports entrepreneurship projects for refugees, single parents, and homeless people in Lyon.

This year, the beneficiary of the initiative will once again be Entrepreneurs du Monde. The initiative will run concurrently at the Crédit Agricole campuses in Montrouge, Saint-Quentin, and Lyon from November 18 to 22.

This event is reserved for Crédit Agricole Group employees. To register, please contact carolina.herrera@credit-agricole-sa.fr
