Francois KEBE a credit union activist based in Louga, North Senegal, West Africa, wishes to launch a very exciting project - the first French speaking Development Programme, initially in Senegal, but with the aim of spreading DE and credit unions throughout the African French speaking countries. Donations are needed to enable Kebe to attend the Asian DE programme to acquire the special skills and expertise this particular course offers, i.e. knowledge of practical individual advocacy and community mobilisation in new territories. His full story can be seen on the Donation page of the ICULD&EF website.
