L’Abri de Jour is one of those essential charities, offering much-needed shelter and support to people in very precarious circumstances. This article highlights their extraordinary work and how we were able to help renovate their kitchen, a crucial space for their daily activities.

In 2023, they distributed 11,578 hot meals and served 1,290 vulnerable people.

The new kitchen will provide a more ergonomic and healthier working environment for their volunteers, ensure better compliance with the standards required by AFSCA and a better-quality service.

The kitchen: a driving force behind L’Abri de Jour

The kitchen at L’Abri de Jour is much more than just a place to prepare meals. It’s a place where people meet, share and find comfort. For many of our beneficiaries, a hot meal is much more than just food; it’s a moment of human warmth and moral support.

What does the charity do?

L’Abri de Jour is a charity that strives to provide wholesome support to people facing social, economic, physical or mental health and housing difficulties, as well as addiction problems. Far from simply providing food or financial assistance, the charity offers overall support to help these people regain a sense of stability and dignity. Their support includes services such as:

• Social reintegration support to help them gain access to housing and employment.
• The digital project to facilitate access to computers.
• Cultural activities to build social links and learn to be independent.
• Essential health services

The daily lives of their beneficiaries are often marked by a constant struggle to meet basic needs. The charity helps them overcome these obstacles by offering vital services that make them feel valued and respected, which contributes greatly to their mental and emotional well-being.

Our contribution is your impact!

The new kitchen makes it possible to prepare meals more efficiently. It also provides a more welcoming and secure environment for volunteers and beneficiaries. Meals are now prepared in better conditions, guaranteeing better quality and food safety.

By providing financial assistance to renovate their kitchen, we have not only improved their ability to feed the most vulnerable, but we have also strengthened an essential pillar of their community support.

This joint commitment shows that, together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of people living in extreme poverty. Every gesture counts and every contribution brings a glimmer of hope to those who need it most.
