RAJA Foundation – Danièle Marcovici
Supporting women in the World

“At Raja, solidarity towards women is everyone’s business”

Last June, the “RAJA Foundation – Danièle Marcovici” held its 2nd Solidarity Commitment Week at the RAJA Group European headquarters in Roissy, France. Raja employees were fully committed to this initiative thanks to the RAJApeople program.
