LBCI is proud to announce its partnership with Pi Slice, as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities and its continuous commitment to dynamically contribute in the development of Lebanon and the improvement of the life of its people. As part of the partnership, LBCI and Pi Slice have launched a ‘lending page’ to encourage the wider Lebanese community towards micro-lending. Individuals in Lebanon and abroad can view a list of unique micro financed projects and choose to provide support to the project of their choice.
Through this collaboration, LBCI and Pi Slice bring a unique proposition to Lebanon, through which individuals who wish to invest are linked with our Lebanon-based micro-finance institution (MFI) partner - Al Majmoua, which, in turn, uses the funds to provide micro-credit to their customers. Through this, motivated individuals can help this Lebanese MFI to build a sustainable future for Lebanese micro-entrepreneurs, as well as a favorable ecosystem for development at the macro level.
"LBCI aims at supporting local entrepreneurs and contributing in the development of Lebanon. We are happy to partner with PiSlice to fight unemployment and provide support to the Lebanese youth community," said LBCI’s CEO Pierre El Daher.
Companies and individuals are welcomed to visit the link (http://www.pi-slice.com/en/partners/lbci), in order to explore in details the available projects to be financed. In this page, one can follow "live" the contributions offered, as well as the results achieved in number of companies assisted, and number of jobs created in Lebanon. LBCI and Pi Slice will offer frequent updates on the achievements of this project, while featuring in more details the most prominent success stories.
"Corporations and individuals have no access to projects that align with their social strategic goals," said Pi Slice CEO Genny Ghanimeh. "This is exactly what Pi Slice resolves by providing transparency, accountability, access, and choice. We believe that the private sector should be able to support the fight against unemployment in a transparent, efficient, and respectful manner. Previously this was a dream, but now technology has made it a reality. We are very happy to announce our partnership with LBCI, a company with leadership that has proved to be innovative, progressive and committed into social change and building impact."
