Vulnerable populations are currently cut off from their basic rights. They have no access to education or medical care. It is difficult for these people to build a future because this context makes them live in uncertainty and a sense of despair.
The association’s ambition is to help victims of the crisis with the objectives of reconstruction and peace.
Above all, we want to offer them a place of refuge and hope where they can consider and start their reconstruction, a space where they can make their voices heard, share their experiences in a frame of trust or with other people with similar cases. The aim is to enable them to recover from what they have been able to experience or suffer, through accompaniment, dialogue, listening but also exchanges, fun, educational activities, and sports.
The idea of this center is also to offer a space where women, men, and children will be invited to creativity in order to positively transform their suffering and past experiences
It is also about giving them the opportunity to resume possession of their intimate world in order to resume gradually the trust in themselves and in each other. This support should enable everyone to get out of the spiral of violence.
