53 I N T E G R A T E D R E P O R T 2 0 2 1 Cité CIM C O R P O R A T E S O C I A L R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y Improving lives at Cité CIM After graduating from Polytechnics Mauritius, Didier Soulange was hesitant to pursue a career in construction. It was at the insistence of his teacher, a director of Building and Civil Solutions Ltd, that Didier decided to give it a try. Shortly after taking this step, he was entrusted with the construction of ten houses in Cité CIM. This project, supported by Cim Finance since 2016, confirmed that he had made the right decision. For two years, Didier has been supervising his tenperson team across several sites. He carefully executes the schedule set byRajeshriMoher, CSRLead at Cim Finance. Rajeshri’s plan is based on the needs of each owner. She ensures that the contractor has everything needed to add comfort to these families who have been through difficult times. “We build decent concrete houses, with electricity, plumbing, doors and windows for them. These houses are 95% financed by Cim Finance. The interior finishing and plastering are left for the owner to complete, which is a way for them to participate and take ownership of their house,” Rajeshri explains. Didier has completed five homes in the last year. By January 2022, he will have completed another five. « Enn lakaz pran sis ouswa set mwa, li dépann. “Parfwa travay-la ralanti. Asterla par exanp, li difisil pou gagn materyel parski avek Covid, bann kargezon bato pa pe rantre. Apre osi, se bann tipti sirfas, zotpli konplike ki bann granbatiman…”, he says. Didier has a great team, with some members recruited in the Cité itself. « Zot ti bizin travay, monn teste zot, ek mo finn dekouver bann talan. Warren, so finish extra bon. Stéphane, se enn ekselan krepiser » «Depi touzour mo ti anvi fer travay sosial. Ek isi, mo pa pe selman konstrir lakaz sa bann fami-la, mo bizin rod kompran zot bann problem, ed zot, sey trouv bann solision…»
