Banlieues Sante is a nonprofit organization created in June 2018 by two health professionals who, based on their observations in the field in terms of social inequalities in health, decided to make it their fight. Today, Banlieues Sante has its headquarters in Ile de France and a branch in Marseille. The organization is employing 12 people and works on health prevention and education projects for all vulnerable communities in underprivileged neighborhoods. To act globally on health prevention, Banlieues Sante relies on other close structures such as Banlieues School for health prevention through youth empowerment and Banlieues Sport for health prevention through sport. The mission of Banlieues Sante is to fight against social inequalities in health and thus, to reduce the gap in life expectancy between workers and executives in France, currently of 6 years on average. Social inequalities in health refer to the fact that the more people live in difficult conditions, the worse their health is. Health determinants include housing, employment, food, access to sports or culture. Our programs consider all these factors in a global approach to health as defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO), namely a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not only the absence of disease or infirmity. Banlieues Sante developed partnerships with nearly 300 local associations that help us reach people in underprivileged areas. All these organizations are visible on an interactive map that we created to help realize the extent of the impact of Banlieues Sante on the field. Our partner organizations know their community and understand their needs. For example, to alleviate the Covid crisis, in 2021, we distributed 31 500 hygiene kits, 44 400 food parcels to hyper proximity organizations in need of help for their beneficiaries. These joint actions allow us to have direct feedback of women's needs and to set up the proper solutions.

Advancing Women in Investing (AWI) is a collaborative of more than 100 first-time and emerging female capital movers investing in emerging and frontier markets. Our long-term goal is to create a movement of change to democratize access to funding and opportunity for female investment vehicles managers (IVMs). Female investment professionals represent only 8% of all senior positions in venture capital and private equity firms in Africa and when then they strike out on their own, they struggle to raise capital. AWI was initially founded as a discussion group over WhatsApp to provide support and networking opportunities for members on the journey to start and raise capital for investment vehicles focused on sub-Saharan Africa. The organization has expanded its geography to include emerging markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and now helps to unlock channels to capital, skill building, tools and other resources that are currently very limited in the market. We accelerate the development and growth of these talented women to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the investing ecosystem.

The mission of the association Les Oiseaux Migrateurs is to create a collaborative space organised around diasporas, making the link with the African continent. We federate an international network of artists, designers, entrepreneurs, students, researchers, innovators, architects, academics, brands and decision-makers from all over the world - to support and empower international youth. Ideal for learning, experimenting and prototyping sustainable and scalable solutions to the challenges our communities may face. Union de la Jeunesse Internationale is the community center created by Les Oiseaux Migrateurs in 2022, with a multidisciplinary and contemporary program that supports emerging diaspora talent and provides a platform for creative and entrepreneurial development. Breaking away from the "bourgeois hierarchy" of the arts and resolutely turned towards interculturality, the Union de la Jeunesse internationale offers an ambitious program of exhibitions, debates and workshops. The idea is to provide a platform for expression and knowledge-sharing for young people, and above all to create an avant-garde venue capable of taking the "pulse of what's happening in the world today", with an emphasis on diasporic cultures. It aims to encourage and connect creative people, entrepreneurs and thinkers by providing them with tools such as an exhibition hall, a workshop space, a radio station and a library.

The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.
