This year, our sponsorship action will be aimed at the international NGO Action contre la Faim (Action against Hunger). Through this collaboration, our company Labaronne-Citaf will make a significant financial donation to support the organization’s actions in its projects linked to access to drinking water.
To date, ACTION CONTRE LA FAIM is active in 47 countries, where its missions are structured around five areas of activity:
- Nutrition and Health
- Mental health, care practices, gender and protection
- Food security and livelihoods
- Water, sanitation and hygiene
- Risk and disaster management.
Since 1979, the NGO has intervened worldwide, providing food aid, drinking water and health services in regions affected by humanitarian crises. The organization also works to strengthen the capacity of local communities to rebuild in a sustainable way.
In 2020, around one in four people in the world will not have access to safe drinking water - that's almost 2 billion people worldwide. To combat this anomaly, ACF is carrying out various projects to facilitate access to water:
- channelling treated water in crisis situations to more permanent sources
- Purifying contaminated water sources for safe use
- Install water storage tanks and outdoor reservoirs
- Dig or rehabilitate new wells and boreholes
- Channel and preserve streams
- Build and repair water networks, mainly in urban areas
- Install and improve irrigation systems
- Building watering sites for livestock
For Labaronne-Citaf, this donation is a natural extension of our long-standing humanitarian commitment. ACF is one of the NGOs with which we have already worked on this type of project, supplying equipment such as water tanks & humanitarian kits for crisis situations.
Elisabeth Neyrand, in charge of humanitarian projects and sponsorship operations for Labaronne-Citaf, expresses her satisfaction with this initiative:
“Our commitment to NGOs is an expression of our desire to contribute to causes that have a significant impact on the lives of communities. By collaborating with organizations working in essential areas such as access to water, we reinforce our social responsibility and actively participate in building a better world. This commitment also enables us to inspire our employees and those around us, and to create an environment where solidarity and mutual aid are at the heart of our values. Every little action counts, and I'm proud to be part of an initiative that aims to improve people's lives.“
This new donation reflects the values of our company, and the importance of solidarity and commitment in solving the world's humanitarian challenges. Giving meaning to our business and supporting the fight against malnutrition and access to drinking water are the driving forces behind this corporate philanthropy initiative.
