Why we love it?

It is our duty as a society not to leave any citizen behind. Emmaüs Défi is committed to offering solutions that enable homeless people to reintegrate into the world of work at their own pace, all by collecting and recycling objects: the perfect project to speed up the social and ecological transition.

Solution

Emmaüs Défi makes employment an essential lever for overcoming economic and social insecurity. Surrounded by the support teams, the employee uses the framework offered by the integration site to develop his or her overall integration path: building the next step in his or her career path, taking training courses, but also gaining access to housing and health care. At Emmaüs Défi, the employee finds much more than a paycheck: the attention and consideration of others needed to see themselves and the world in a different light.


Nelly's testimonial
"Just having a salary changes everything. Now I can provide for my children". - Nelly

Nelly is an Emmaüs Campüs employee working in the textile workshop. She is trained and supported by her technical supervisor and vocational integration advisor. The latter helps Nelly with administrative formalities and housing. 🏠 Thanks to her dynamism and professionalism, Nelly was able to take a training course in catering, giving her new professional experience and skills that will be very useful for the rest of her career. ✨

"Nelly is a very strong-willed person, who gives herself the means to achieve her goals. I'm convinced that she'll get out of the job quickly". - Emma, technical supervisor

Today, the supervisory team's mission is to find permanent accommodation for Nelly and her family. After that, the aim will be to find a stimulating job with good prospects. 🙌

"Things are going well here, because when you work somewhere where the atmosphere isn't good, you lose heart and can't fit in. But here, it's like a family." - Nelly

A vintage and solidarity sale
Emmaüs Campüs held a special sale at BHV Paris!   🌟 
 
This sale was an opportunity for Emmaüs Campüs to reach out to a new clientele and enable employees on integration schemes to work in a new environment.This event also gave our employees the opportunity to work differently, in new premises and with a wider and more important public. It was an opportunity for them to professionalize themselves in a business context they were unfamiliar with.  🙌 
 
The sale also enabled Emmaüs Campüs to reach a wider clientele and therefore to raise awareness among as many people as possible about our mission: to combat precariousness and widespread exclusion through work, particularly student precariousness, thanks to special sales for students and the professional reintegration of young workers.  🎓 
 
Thanks to this sale, customers.e.s were able to make good bargains and also contributed to the life of Emmaüs Campüs thanks to the donations we were able to receive. 
In fact, all donations enable technical supervisors to support employees.
 
We would like to thank the BHV for organizing this event with Emmaüs Campüs!  👏
