The ADRA France general assembly was held from May 17 to 20, 2024, bringing together volunteers from across France around the theme “Restoring Human Dignity”. This major event brought together volunteers from all over France to represent the dynamism of local branches.

Over four days, participants shared their experiences, inspired each other, and strengthened their common commitment to ADRA’s mission of supporting the most vulnerable. Thematic workshops, inspiring conferences, and friendly moments punctuated the event.

The workshops covered crucial topics such as: spirituality in social action; effective communication; the helping relationship; managing emergency situations; long-term help; and the impact of the Republican Commitment Contract.

About ADRA France

For more than 70 years, ADRA has worked internationally to help vulnerable populations. In France, ADRA has been working for 40 years in the fields of development and emergency, relying on a solid network of volunteers and professionals.

ADRA France engages in three areas of intervention: 1. The fight against poverty and social exclusion: access to food, drinking water, education, health, and housing; 2. Emergency aid in the event of a disaster: immediate assistance to affected populations during natural or humanitarian disasters; 3. Sustainable and community development: empowerment of local communities through tools and skills to sustainably improve their living conditions.
