MADISON, Wis.–The 36 hours spent recently in Rzeszow, Poland by representatives of the World Council as they looked for ways to help people in Ukraine are featured in the latest podcast released by WOCCU.
The podcast features WOCCU President and CEO Elissa McCarter LaBorde and members of the WOCCU Credit for Agriculture Producers (CAP) Project as they held a series of meetings in Rzeszow aimed at exploring ways they can help provide further assistance in Ukraine, where credit unions, their employees and members continue to deal with the tragic consequences of the Russian invasion.
As WOCCU explained, the CAP Project is a USAID-funded activity focused on strengthening Ukraine’s credit unions and expanding access to agricultural lending. McCarter LaBorde first met with the CEO of a CAP partner credit union in western Ukraine, whom WOCCU said it was not identifying out of concern for his safety. That person shared what credit unions need now, and what he believes they will need the international credit union movement to help them with in the long term.
McCarter LaBorde also met with representatives from USAID's Ukraine Mission and members of the United Nation's Office for Coordinated Humanitarian Assistance (UN OCHA) to discuss future ways WOCCU could help improve the situation on the ground in Ukraine through our member credit unions, according to the World Council.
