BATIK International is a solidarity association that works to strengthen the power of choice and action of vulnerable individuals and communities in France and internationally, in order to contribute to more egalitarian and inclusive societies. To this end, the association aims to support empowerment processes, particularly for women and gender minorities, youth, and migrants, to reveal their talents, so that they regain the power to build a better future and become agents of transformation in their lives. This work is reinforced by rights promotion, awareness-raising, and advocacy initiatives that promote lasting and sustainable solutions, and by any other means likely to contribute to the fight for social justice and equality. To ensure the sustainability of the actions implemented, we also offer support to our partners, civil society organizations in the regions where the programs are implemented. Because women find themselves at the intersection of several inequalities, the association places gender equality at the heart of its actions.

Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) - translated as Doctors Without Borders is an international medical humanitarian organisation founded by doctors and journalists in 1971 in Paris. Our teams are made up of tens of thousands of health professionals, logistic and administrative staff - bound together by our charter. We are a global movement, with staff from over 160 countries. MSF provides medical relief to the victims of war, disease and natural or man-made disaster, without regard to race, religion, or political affiliation. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality. We are a non-profit, self-governed, member-based organisation. The association's independence is guaranteed by the fact that it is funded 99% privately, mainly by individual donors and companies. MSF is an international movement of associations organised in 23 sections and 6 operational centers. The executive entities (sections and delegated offices) are linked to one of MSF's operational centers: Amsterdam (OCA), Barcelona-Athens (OCBA), Brussels (OCB), Geneva (OCG) and Paris (OCP). Operations are run from these centers. Each operational center has its own patterning with its partner sections. Since 2019, an association has been added to the list of entities that can lead operations: WaCA (West and Central Africa). 91.2% of our expenses are directly allocated to the social mission, with only 8.4% of operating & fundraising expenses. MSF makes financial transparency and rigorous management of its accounts a priority. The 3 audits of the Cour des Comptes (The French Court of Auditors) in 1998, 2004 and 2010 resulted in particularly commendable reports. Logistical strength: MSF Logistique (located in Merignac, France), is a dedicated entity created in 1986. The Merignac base is one of the world's largest centres for the transport of humanitarian supplies, with 18,500 m of storage space. It allows us to be very responsive in our operations, with the possibility of sending more than 100 tons of emergency supplies in 24 hours. Driving change: new approaches for greater impact. Throughout its history, MSF has sought to create dynamics for change and to benefit the populations it serves.

At Donate4Refugees our vision is for every displaced person in Europe to be welcomed with humanity and respect in Europe and given the helping hand they need to find safety, peace and happiness in their new forever home. We work collaboratively to help ensure every displaced man, women and child asking for Europe's help gets the support they need to start their new life with dignity. That is, to have a place to live, enough food to eat, clothes to wear, warmth, lighting and hygiene. Along with access to essential information and education. We primarily do this by raising money that helps fund inspiring humanitarian projects delivered on-the-ground by our grassroots volunteer partners. We work together keeping people and hope alive. "Whoever you think are the most disadvantaged people in society, refugees are below that." - Trish Clowes, Donate4Refugees' Ambassador Right now, as you and I adapt to life amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, Europe's humanity to refugees has scarcely been worse. Did you know that at the UK border in northern France there's no shelter and little food or water for refugees? That rising hostility is played out through police brutality and cruel policy? Meanwhile, on the Greek mainland, evictions are making hundreds of families street homeless, living in poverty. Whilst the Greek arrival islands buckle under severe over-crowding, lack of basic hygiene and appalling food within camps sending tensions inside the camps, and right wing violence outside of them, soaring. Life for refugees in Europe's hot spots in 2020 is utterly miserable. The hope in people's eyes is disappearing, the smiles are fading... Now that you know, will you help? Within this devastating environment our volunteers are too often providing the only lifeline to refugees. Donate4Refugees uniquely brings together donations from individuals, businesses and trusts to give grants and emergency funding to our trusted grassroots partners on-the-ground. Those volunteers supporting refugee communities on Europe's front-lines. Together we're filling shamefully big gaps in aid and humanity and, without the tireless dedication of our volunteers, refugee men, women and children would be struggling to even survive. We're acting now providing very real help, human-to-human, to many of the world's most vulnerable people. We only wish we didn't have to.

Points cles du programme ASI au Congo et au Gabon ASI travaille depuis 40 ans en Afrique : Burkina- Faso, ex Zaire devenu la RDC, Cameroun. Les nombreux projets menes dans ces pays sont devenus autonomes et leurs activites continuent a travers des equipes a 100% locales qui ont pris le relais d'ASI. ASI a cependant conserve le management direct du programme le plus important. Celui-ci, initie en 2007 a Brazzaville au Congo, puis a Pointe-Noire (2012), et tout recemment ouvert a Libreville au Gabon, vise a former et reinserer socialement et professionnellement les jeunes filles mineures en situation de prostitution de survie en rue. Appuye par des subventions institutionnelles (ONU, AFD, Mairie de Paris) ainsi que par des subventions privees (Fondation SODEXO, Groupe Air France, TotalEnergies, Groupe Perenco ), ASI a pu developper ses programmes dans la duree (Annexe 1). Le management de ce programme complexe est assure par les 12 membres du CA d'ASI, aux profils varies et bases en France et aux USA (Annexe 2), definissant et deployant une Gouvernance stricte (Annexe 3). Les membres du CA sont strictement benevoles et assument leurs eventuels frais induits (visites au Congo, repas et deplacements lors d'un CA). La totalite des fonds recueillis aupres de nos partenaires sont ainsi dedies a nos beneficiaires et aux personnels locaux des 5 centres, actuellement 70 personnes. Le pilotage courant est assure par un Bureau de 4 personnes, qui anime au quotidien le DG local du programme et son Adjointe chargee principalement de la RH et des Partenariats. ASI travaille avec nombre d'autres ONG (agissant dans d'autres registres) mais aussi des entites etatiques ou locales (Mairies, Service de sante et de l'Action Sociale, prefecture, police, congregations). Ce processus en reseau apporte des synergies economiques mais aussi humaines, ferments d'une reussite collective. ~20% des beneficiaires sont d'ailleurs signalees par d'autres acteurs que nos propres equipes de maraude . ASI est l'unique entite (ONG ou etatique) assurant une telle mission dans les deux pays. Au fil des annees, ASI a su organiser et piloter un reseau de prise en charge de ces jeunes filles via un processus innovant de maraudes pour les identifier. ~80% choisissent de rejoindre le programme des que nous sommes (financierement) en mesure de le leur proposer. Un projet personnalise est ensuite construit, sur une base individuelle, volontaire et formalisee par un Contrat , typiquement de 3 ans, a l'issue duquel la beneficiaire est en position de gagner sa vie dignement. Dans une premiere etape, la reponse aux besoins essentiels en termes de nourriture, sante et contraception, de soutien aux enfants de ces beneficiaires (plus d'une sur deux sont mamans), parfois de remise a niveau scolaire de base (lire, ecrire, compter) est apportee. Un programme complet de reinsertion personnelle puis de formation professionnalisante est ensuite defini avec chaque beneficiaire. Les principales etapes a suivre et les engagements personnels pris sur une base volontaire par la beneficiaire sont materialises via un Contrat signe avec ASI, de facon a la responsabiliser pleinement, et pouvoir piloter avec elle tout ecart eventuel de facon formelle, objective et transparente. Les formations et projets d'insertion sont adaptes aux realites du Congo et du Gabon. Initialement classiques (couture, cuisine, coiffure), elles sont regulierement enrichies, tels les metiers de mecanicienne, technicienne de climatisation ou encore soudeuse. Plus recemment, une formation de base en bureautique et anglais a ete introduite, offrant aux beneficiaires un nouveau debouche professionnel potentiel, les entreprises trouvant difficilement des profils adequats pour ces postes. Enfin, un projet de creation d'une ferme productrice d'epices, produits a forte valeur ajoutee et exportables, est en cours de lancement a Dolisie. Le processus ASI a ete regulierement optimise et adapte aux realites du terrain au cours des annees. Une description detaillee est disponible. L'activite d'ASI a ete en progression constante. De 10-15 reinsertions de beneficiaires par an dans les premieres annees, les resultats du programme ont regulierement cru jusqu'a atteindre 52 sorties reussies en 2024 des centres de Brazzaville et Pointe-Noire. Depuis son demarrage en 2007, ASI a accueilli ~3700 beneficiaires, qui se sont reinserees et gagnent desormais leur vie dignement. Les resultats sont probants avec ~85 % d'insertion reussie avec un travail stable et correctement remunere. S'y ajoutent ~10% de beneficiaires reinserees socialement mais sans avoir trouve ou pris un travail. En 2024, les centres ASI ont accueilli en moyenne quotidienne 190 beneficiaires et 84 jeunes enfants dans les creches. En outre, plus de 794 autres jeunes filles ont ete aidees ou secourues en rue, hors centres (protection contre de la violence, repas, soins et conseils medicaux). Par ailleurs, pour mieux repondre aux besoins identifies par ASI lors des maraudes, trois nouveaux centres ont ete ouverts courant 2024 dans les villes de Dolisie et NKayi au CONGO, ainsi qu'a Libreville au GABON
