The project

InclusionPoverty
Emmaüs Défi's primary objective is to combat precariousness and social and/or professional exclusion, and to enable everyone to regain their dignity and their place in society through social and professional reintegration. The activities of Emmaüs Défi's integration projects focus mainly on collecting, sorting and recycling donated items.

The organization Emmaüs Défi

Emmaüs Défi works alongside people in extremely precarious situations to help them find employment, access healthcare, and secure decent housing. Through donations and socially responsible purchases of secondhand goods, the organization develops concrete solutions to promote social integration and build a more inclusive, sustainable, and compassionate society.

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.

Every act of solidarity helps combat exclusion and build a more just future for everyone.
