Emergencies: rebuilding lives over the long term
After a disaster or a major crisis, Fondation de France swings into action to help rebuild lives. We stand by victims and casualties by providing them with assistance, over the long term, coordinating with NGOs, nonprofits and local authorities.
We were there after hurricane Irma in the Caribbean in 2017, flooding in south western France in 2018 and more recently after the explosion in Beirut. We focus our work on the strategic programs set out with our volunteer expert committees, closest to the needs of the community.
Our network of partners makes it possible for us to take action within a few hours of an emergency, to ensure proximity, thoroughness, transparency and traceability.
The experience we have gained in all nonprofit sectors means we can provide psychological and medical support, as well as help with housing rehabilitation, recreating social connections, education, agricultural recovery and so on. Our overarching philosophy is to act beyond the emergency situation and embed our work over time, so that we can offer affected residents lasting relief.
We implement these principles when natural disasters strike in France and elsewhere, and in the case of unprecedented events. Such was the case in 2019: when fire broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, we became one of the institutions tasked with raising and allocating donations for the repair work. Likewise, the pandemic was marked by exceptional levels of mobilizations thanks to the “United Against the Virus” Alliance created with AP-HP (Paris hospitals) and Institut Pasteur.
