AVENIR AFRIC'AIN

* Alimentation : lutte contre la malnutrition,
* Scolarité : lutte contre l'analphabétisme, rénovation et aide à la création de salles de classe,
* Aide aux pouponnières.
Les actions de l'association aspirent à privilégier autant que possible le long terme.

On a connu cette association via Karine et Laurent que nous croisons régulièrement sur nos concerts depuis quelques années. L'éducation et la scolarisation, principaux objectifs, nous importent beaucoup et il était au final assez naturel d'apporter notre soutien. D'autant plus que la transparence dont ils font preuve, notamment par le biais de photos qu'ils nous envoient régulièrement, est très appréciable, ça rend les choses concrètes à nos yeux.

EPICAMPUS

During our tours, we meet many students who come to see us in concert, it is a "world" to which we are very connected. We were already very sensitive to the difficulties of students in their daily lives, but seeing the images broadcast on the networks during the covid period motivated us to try to do something. We therefore contacted two student associations (Agoraé in Saint-Étienne and Épicampus in Dijon) to donate part of the profits from our show at La Vapeur in Dijon in May 2022.

AGORAÉ / FASEE

The AGORAÉ of Saint-Étienne is a space for exchange and solidarity articulated around a student grocery store and a living space, managed entirely by the FASEE (Fédération des Associations de Saint-Étienne).
Aimed at all students in precarious situations, this social and solidarity grocery store aims to allow students to obtain food, hygiene or cleaning basic necessities easily and at very low cost. A living space also welcomes students, with board games, books, entertainment, tea and coffee!
To be able to become a beneficiary, you will need to complete an application file. It can be downloaded from the Saint-Étienne AGORAÉ Facebook website or can be picked up in hard copy directly from the solidarity grocery store.
It should be noted that this project is a national initiative led by the FAGE (Federation of General Student Associations). There are currently 34 AGORAÉ in France!

Throughout our tours, we meet many students who come to see us in concert, in fact we have always been very closely connected to the student world. We were already very sensitive to the difficulties of students in their daily lives, but watching reports on social media about how students experienced the previous lockdowns motivated us to try and do something.

The Johnson Academy has been helping more than 180 children aged 6 to 18 for the past 8 years in the neighborhoods of Cova da Moura and Zambujal, in the suburbs of Lisbon.
Through sport (futsal and basketball) and education (via help with homework), they provide young people with strong values, thus empowering them to free themselves from the determinism of the ghettos where they grow up.

In the words of Dub inc

Portugal is a country where we have been playing regularly since 2006. We asked Fernando Cabral (our Portuguese tour manager) to tell us about a local association that he found relevant.

He introduced us to Johnson's work in the Cova Da Moura neighborhood in Amadora. We then invited young people from the neighborhood to our May 2022 show in Lisbon and made a donation to the association from funds raised during our previous concert in Dijon.

Their mission: to defend marine life

From the smallest creatures to the giants of the seas, Sea Shepherd's mission is to protect all the species that inhabit our oceans. Sea Shepherd's campaigns focus on defending whales, dolphins, seals, sharks, penguins, turtles, fish, krill, and seabirds from poaching, unsustainable fishing, habitat destruction, and captivity.

RÈGLES ÉLÉMENTAIRES

Règles élémentaires is a French association that fights against menstrual precariousness, and the taboo of menstruation.

Collect & Redistribute

Règles élémentaires' first mission is to allow everyone to organise their own collection of sanitary pads. We then ensure the redistribution via our partner associations throughout France.

Raising awareness

Raising awareness is an essential, important mission to our charity. One of our objectives is to break the taboo of menstruation, and this goes through speech, education, and information. Through workshops, events or content creation, we put our expertise at the service of raising awareness.

LES 4 ROUES ASSOCIATION

The charity was created in 2000 by residents, their families and staff members of the Maison Bleue, a living centre for disabled people in Saint-Pourçain, in Puy de Dôme.
The purpose of this self-managed charity is to promote projects and the integration of people with reduced mobility, who are residents of the institution.

Several projects have been carried out: production of short films, adapted skiing, wheelchair football, Cimgo Open de France (machines allowing people with disabilities to venture on all types of terrain for hiking or walking).

EMMAÜS

Identity

Emmaüs was born 74 years ago to help people who are victims of various phenomena of exclusion, in order to find solutions that allow them to become actors in their lives again. Faithful to the will of Abbé Pierre, Emmaüs has become both a factory of social innovations and solidarity to help people in very precarious situations, and a committed, militant front in favour of a more humane and fairer society model.

Snowboarders from around the world have come together through Snowboarders Of Solidarity to help young Afghan snowboarders escape death threats and immediate danger in their home country, in the face of the recent Taliban takeover.
Members of the Afghan Snowboard Team were able to flee the country. Some have been given asylum in Canada, the United States, Germany and Sweden, but others are still waiting in third countries for their visa to be accepted, including 7 people in Pakistan.

These young refugee athletes (between 18 and 25 years old), women and men, defenders of women's rights and human rights through sport and education, had to leave everything behind: their family, friends, studies, savings.

Thanks to their shared passion, the charity has implemented a follow-up in order to support them in their administrative procedures. They also provide them with daily support by paying for accommodation and food.

In the words of Dub inc

Zigo (Dub inc's drummer) learned about this initiative while listening to Victor Diavet's interview on the Les Baladeurs podcast. Everyone in the band was deeply moved by the journey of the young Afghan snowboarders and the determination of the whole Snowboarders Of Solidarity team, so we decided to support them in their fight.
