Every year, nearly 50,000 people obtain refugee status in France. But this step often only marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with challenges. Language learning, socio-cultural adaptation, and residential stability remain major obstacles. Founded by SINGA in 2015, J’accueille was created to address this reality. Its mission: to support refugees towards autonomy by connecting them with individuals willing to open their homes and share more than just their roof.
With over 1,200 people welcomed across 23 French departments, J’accueille embodies the essence of inclusion. Opening one’s door means offering stability but also creating connections and sharing experiences. For those welcomed, it is an opportunity to catch their breath, thrive in their new environment, and envision the future.
To welcome others, you need a free room, sincere willingness, and a bit of preparation. Beyond cultural differences, it is about establishing an equal relationship.
Thank you for this wonderful initiative! 🌍
