Local and international action to help asylum seekers and refugees
Join the global solidarity network that has formed to help them!
About us
We work at local, national and international levels, striving to provide support wherever and whenever refugees need it,
and within the limits of our resources.
Our support takes many forms, including food parcels, emergency hotel accommodation, clothing assistance, solidarity-based accommodation, French classes, emotional support and administrative assistance, among many other forms of practical help.

-EDITO -
Never since the Second World War have so many women and children been on the road to exile under conditions as terrible as they are today. Whether to reach or cross borders, on smugglers' boats, on their arrival on the Greek shores, in refugee camps, on the roads or in the streets of European towns, never so much indifference and hatred have prevented their journey from being safe. They do not have a home anymore. The way they are welcomed is despicable, not to mention the moral and physical abuse inflicted by heartless people, blinded by hatred or by greed.
While governments are busy closing borders, ordinary people all over Europe have formed numerous support groups to provide help of every kind, to show respect and give dignity to these people in exile from many countries and who seek asylum far from home.
ACT FOR REF IS PART OF THIS GLOBAL NETWORK OF SOLIDARITY
ACT FOR REF is doing its utmost to bring some help to people in the throes of exile.
The association receives financial and material DONATIONS which are then REDISTRIBUTED directly to families in need who are connected with the association, to asylum seekers' centres in our area and sometimes to convoys going to various destinations (Ukraine, Greece, Syria, Serbia ...). It provides MORAL, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL, ADMINISTRATIVE and LOGISTICAL SUPPORT locally to dozens of asylum seekers and refugees. It also offers French language classes and when possible, temporary housing in families or hotels. At the same time, Act For Ref uses social media to federate, inform and mobilize people.
