"What we do is hardly a drop of water in the ocean, but if we did not do it, our water drop would miss with the ocean " Thérésa Mother.
Since 2004, the year of its creation, our association "Provence.Himalaya" endeavours to come to assistance of the underprivileged populations from the Himalayas and the refugees tibétains to India and Nepal.
Our operation is based on the values which we defend such as:
Responsibility, Ethics and Respect.
We take our actions on 2 faces:
- In France, where throughout the year we organize demonstrations, conferences, projections of films, in order to sensitize people with the causes which we defend and to recover the funds which will enable us to act on the ground.
- In India and in Nepal where we take the humane actions, check correct use of the versed funds and face the cases of emergency.
More and more, we move towards a personalized help, without forgetting our perennial actions, the such Monastery of Séra or the assistances with the refugee camps tibétains.
With the wire of our voyages and the contact increasingly close to the populations which we help, we realized that it was preferable to give to the families the means of being self-managed by developing an activity rather than "to distribute" money.
It appears more judicious to us to help them to acquire a financial independence and especially to avoid the assistantship which withdraws any dignity to them.
Our association, it is also a great family and a team work where each one takes pleasure to be found and to advance in the same direction.
The tibétains, the Indians, népalais them need we and we need you…
If you wish to join us in our step, Bienvenue.
