Fructidor International gives a hand to African Children Association
France
Wednesday 07 March 2007
Fructidor International, together with the Agora SAS, have initiated a close relationship with the non-for-profit association "Les Enfants du Monde 06".
This association, which counts 45 members, helps African children, in the sub-Saharan areas such as South Algeria and Nigeria in education access, water supplies and medical care.
Founded in 2000, "Les Enfants du Monde" decided to follow two main guidelines. First, all members are volunteers and therefore not employed and they organise goods collects and transports with the members own financing. In that way, a lot of troubles are avoided according to President Serge Rocca. The second guideline is that the members take and distribute the goods themselves directly to the children and African families.
By taking part in the distribution, and sometimes also in the building of new facilities, the association can really prove to its partners the efficiency of their participation. It is also an excellent way to understand what needs have to be fulfilled in priority.
Fructidor International has been mandated by stationery & office supplies suppliers to find a nice way of distributing samples left behind in Cannes, France after an event organised by the Hélios Group.
Goods have been taken to Nice and a convoy leaved France on February 17th for Niger (via Italy, Tunisia and Algeria). After 3,700 kms and 8 days of hard driving, the association members will then spend 2 weeks in Niger.
Apart from delivering school supplies and medical goods, a new school will be opened in North Niger, a well will be securised, and a dormitory room will be equipped for ten "Peul" children who have been living and sleeping in a classroom for months...
