Meeting: Lidia, entrepreneur supported via Centimes solidaires

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 make a donation of 50 cents when paying for their meal in the restaurants on the Crédit Agricole Campus.

Entrepreneurs du Monde, an NGO also funded by the Crédit Agricole Solidarité et Développement Foundation, has been a beneficiary of the initiative since its first edition. The NGO has already received €15,651 to strengthen the ICI (Incubation, Creation, Inclusion) program, which supports entrepreneurship projects for refugees, single parents, and homeless people in Lyon. In two years, more than 100 people have received guidance to structure their entrepreneurial projects.

2020 will be the 3rd^e and final year of support for Entrepreneurs du Monde, which will receive an additional €11,000 in subsidies.

MEETING WITH LIDIA

To close the 3^e edition of Centimes solidaires, the Foundation and Crédit Agricole welcome Lidia, an Italian entrepreneur supported through the operation, on October 29, 2020, to the Montrouge Campus.

Having arrived in France 12 years ago, Lidia is an Italian entrepreneur, mother of three, and recipient of the RSA (Responsible Income Support). Thanks to the support of Entrepreneurs du Monde through the ICI program, she was able to create her own catering business. The next step: bringing a former grocery store in Lyon to life, on a street steeped in Italian history.

Come chat with Lidia and taste her culinary specialties!

Event reserved exclusively for Crédit Agricole group employees.
