Solution

Banlieues Santé works for quality healthcare and access to health information for all.

To achieve this goal, the association has developed two types of action:

In the short term, with the implementation of emergency aid: distribution of hygiene kits, access to an ophthalmological consultation and a free pair of glasses, awareness-raising actions.
In the long term, with various support programs to help local residents take charge of their own health: the Café des Biens-Aînés, the Café des Femmes and the project for a Health Center in Marseille.

Plus Belle la Vue in Marseille in November 2024

Dear difters,

✨ Transformed looks thanks to Plus Belle la Vue! 👓

In just 7 days, we had the chance to restore clear vision to 430 people in precarious situations.

🎯 The outstanding results of this solidarity action:

➡️ 339 free ophthalmological consultations, carried out by supportive professionals.

➡️ 84% of beneficiaries equipped with adapted glasses, for better vision.

➡️ 75 prescriptions issued and 46 pathologies detected, with referral to care via health mediation.

➡️ 441 pieces of equipment distributed, including 124 handed out on site and 345 to be given away live at the end of January.

➡️ 47 children cared for.

This mobilization was made possible thanks to the incredible commitment of our volunteers and the support of invaluable partners: OneSight, the City of Marseille, ANCT, APHM, and Groupe Ramsay Santé.

🙏 Your generosity and energy lit up this week of solidarity! Beyond the numbers, these are lives transformed, smiles rediscovered, and life-changing encounters that remind us that mutual aid and humanity are our greatest strengths.

Thank you all! Together, let's continue to change lives. 💖

Why we love it?

The holistic approach of Banlieues Santé, created by serial assopreneur Abdelaali, a nurse by profession, brings effective solutions to health issues in the suburbs (which he means in his original definition of "banished places") by getting to the root of the problem.

Solidarity and proximity as the starting point for our commitment.
