Solution
Emmaüs Défi is an association with a social integration project whose main activity is the collection, sorting and recycling of donated objects. Its mission is to help people in very precarious situations to find a lasting way out of this situation through these activities.
The association is founded on these 3 principles: everyone can work, access to a job is an effective means of breaking the spiral of exclusion, and commitment to others is a source of self-esteem.
The only requirement to be hired in the integration worksite is the desire to work and to be accompanied. Access to a job that adapts to the individual, complemented by support for the person, is the essential lever of the action.

Portrait of Hibo
Dear difteurs,
Hibo, a salaried worker on integration schemes, joined the Emmaüs Campüs teams a few months ago.
In the course of her career, she has discovered different trades such as sales, sorting and logistics.
Her experience with our association has enabled her to welcome and advise customers at our ressourceries, manage restocking and learn to manage the cash desk. 💪

Thanks to the activities of collecting, sorting and selling donations, employees on integration schemes are regaining their self-confidence and moving away from extreme precariousness.
The aim? Transforming work into a springboard for rebuilding one's life! 🤝
Bravo to all our teams who enable employees on integration schemes to find their way back to a stable life far from precariousness.
Bravo to the integration employees who show their determination, a little more every day. 👏
And thank you for your difts, without which we wouldn't be able to support so many integration employees.
13 tonnes of donations redistributed for solidarity initiatives!
Dear difteurs,
At Emmaüs Défi, solidarity is at the heart of our actions. 🌟
Each week, some of the clothes we collect are sorted and prepared by our employees from the program Premières Heures en Chantier, alongside their specialized educator.
These clothes then find a second life by being redistributed to homeless people, thanks to partner associations such as:
- Le Vestiaire St Bernard (Paris 18),
- Les Petits Dej' d'Eole (Paris 19),
- Le Point urgence de la place de la Chapelle (Paris 18),
And many others...
That's nearly 13 tons of donations redistributed for solidarity actions! 🌟
Every donation counts and makes a real difference! Thanks to the mobilization of our teams and partners, we strengthen the bonds of solidarity and provide essential support to those who need it most. 🙏
We thank you for your commitment and your difts, which help keep this solidarity alive! 🤝

Why we love it?
It is our duty as a society not to leave any citizen behind. Emmaüs Défi is committed to offering solutions that enable homeless people to reintegrate into the world of work at their own pace, all by collecting and recycling objects: the perfect project to accelerate the social and ecological transition.
Successful accompaniment isn't just about someone finding a job. The key is to listen, to make them feel that you believe in them, and not to pass judgment.
