It is obvious that we can not miss France on our trip around the world since there are some of the most remarkable social business projects worldwide getting into activity.

THANK YOU JÜRGEN, SEFORAH AND JEAN-LUC (GRAMEEN CREDIT AGRICOLE) for your fantastic work and your interesting input which can be seen below:

Our social business ideas and visions
Results of a brain storming session at Grameen Credit Agricole Foundation on the occasion of the worldwide Social Business Day
(June 28th, 2010)

==> Pharma & Health
- Access to decontaminated water for everyone
• Every person with eye diseases should have access to an eyesight correction
• Every sick person should have access to a medical diagnostic: Mobile diagnostic thanks to mobile phone for example
• Privies for each house with a drainage system

==> Finance
- Every small holder farmer should have access to specialized insurances to cover his harvest from climatic risks

==> Food & Agriculture
- Tropical gardens - farming kits mainly for women to serve large city markets with fresh locally cultivated vegetables
• Restaurants offering tasteful and nutritive sandwiches at low cost
• Schools should offer a meal of quality at a low price for the children : big companies should pass on their catering know-how to school restaurants
• Every farmer should be able to improve his harvest thanks to trainings for handling better natural disaster risks.

==> Education
- Mobile libraries in rural zones: access to books or to a specially designed iPad, to be developed in partnership with Apple, with solar energy batteries, offered at very low cost to improve literacy and education.
• One internet subscription shop by village: for simplified administrative processes, communication, information access.
• Every child should have the opportunity to play with a ball: One village, one ball, many smiles.

==> Housing & Construction
- Building companies or cement factories to provide low cost/high quality materials to help the poor rebuild their house in the context of natural disaster areas and post-conflict regions

--> What do you think: how can the aims of Grameen Credit Agricole be achieved?

--> It seems as if France was a hub for social mindsets and social businesses. What is there reason therefore?
