Organizations for solidarity and mutual aid Le Havre

They are fed up with the fact that children beaten, abused, exploited, tortured, raped, slaughtered, despised, crushed, mistreated, prostitutes, sold, shackled, kidnapped, kidnapped, fed up, and yet all over the world - France is not free - acts of disgusting, barbaric, vile acts continue to be perpetrated as if nothing were. Since 1946 UNICEF has been acting on all the land, but the fight against ignominy is harsh.

According to Father Pierre's formula, SOS Families Emmaus helps families struggling to "stand up" so that they can return to the road. In Montreal's city centre, the team of six volunteers manages the files, advises and guides families. The principle is to put forward cash advances without charge fees or interest in order to avoid families falling into the debt-overhang or even being deported. It is an advance on debt, not a loan, and the association deals with paying directly the creditors.

The Catholic Relief has been involved for many years. Gifts of clothing, attentive ears, wise tips… Their missions are numerous, such as gifts in kind or material. " A vot'good heart inter me-ladies! '»»»»

We went to the third millennium, but for les the mission continues on the laissés front. As every winter, the association created by Coluche provides meals and clothing to the too many people in difficulty. Other actions relating to linen, clothing - for children - and a weekly distribution of food packages are conducted all year round, because the fight does not stop at spring gates. Nor is insecurity, unfortunately.

The causes to be defended are not missing for the league: Exclusion, unemployment, racism, illegal immigrants, slavery, nationals of countries at war… The list is long and this courageous association is making a strong effort to shake up the citizens'inertia by putting them in the face of the tragedies of their fellow citizens. Publications, debates, displays… no media escapes them.

The Red Cross recognized as a public utility is fighting on all fronts. For the homeless, persons who receive RMI, the unemployed. Its action is to provide many services to those people in need, including work in so-called "reintegration" workshops, to make small jobs paid in associations and communities. The Red Cross is also a free national number for people in distress - anonymous appeal - who want advice or simply talk: (tel.) 0 800 85 88 58.

The Food Bank of the Region will raise and de Caux, which is responsible for providing the most disadvantaged, a supplement of food, distributed in several associations. It also organizes actions - such as "school solidarity" - in order to raise awareness and concern people about this scourge, and to collect valuable food.

Documentation centre and library accessible to everyone. Their way of proceeding is simple and beautiful. Volunteers who are solidly trained in the hospital or in their homes for whom the end of the road is close. We can only be admired by this approach by doctors and carers in a society where death is still a painful subject.

It is in the Aplemont district that this association is located in charge of the distribution of food and clothing to those most in need. They can also make donations, always welcome in such a useful fight.

A useful centre, links between people who want to volunteer and associations looking for members in this area.

Is it still necessary to present this association? Yes, a thousand times yes! Both the cause of human rights is far from being recognized worldwide.
