What is an association under the 1901 Act?

In France, an association governed by the 1901 Act is a not-for-profit organisation set up to promote a social, humanitarian, cultural, sporting or environmental cause. These associations survive thanks to the commitment of volunteers, sponsors and, above all, donations from individuals and companies.

This model allows people to support a cause close to their hearts, with the assurance that the money raised will be used for defined objectives that benefit the community.

The flagship project in Madagascar: supporting the Lovasoa school

A concrete example of the impact of donations is the project in Madagascar, at the Lovasoa school in Antsirabé.

Helping Hands works hand in hand with the local education team to provide children in a disadvantaged area with a stable school environment, regular meals and essential supplies.

This project is not just a one-off gesture: it aims to strengthening educational life, It also promotes local initiatives such as a henhouse or vegetable garden to help children become self-sufficient.

Donations enable the school to pay for canteen meals, buy uniforms and exercise books, and support teachers' salaries.

Every donation counts: a few dozen euros can make the difference between a child going to school and another staying at home for lack of meals or supplies.
