Atlas France

Atlas France a été créé pour aider les enfants de toute la francophonie grâce au rugby. Atlas et des Champions Français et Internationaux de rugby en France sont en train de mettre en place un solide programme d'éducation et d'assistance sociale pour certains des enfants les plus pauvres de la planète.

Atlas France was established to help children throughout the French speaking world through the power of rugby. Lead by President Jérôme Riondet, Atlas France is building a strong programme of education and welfare for some of the poorest children on earth. Atlas France's ambition to reach the most disadvantaged kids, using rugby to reduce anti-social behaviour, build peace and unity across racial and religious divides, improve personal resilience and respect for others.

Atlas France Board: Jérôme Riondet, Eric Souléres, Jean-Paul Dispans.

Programmes de bienfaisance - À l'étranger

Atlas France soutient des programmes éducatifs à travers le monde francophone, notamment des écoles et des centres de formation au Maroc, à Madagascar, en Côte d'Ivoire et au Cambodge. À mesure que les fonds augmenteront, nous créerons de nouveaux programmes pour aider les enfants les plus pauvres du monde.

Le succès du rugby pour sortir les enfants de la pauvreté est bien documenté en Afrique et en Asie, où les enfants améliorent considérablement leur éducation, deviennent de jeunes entraîneurs et sont des personnes solides et dignes de confiance. Cela crée de nouveaux emplois dans les secteurs de la santé, du conditionnement physique et de la sécurité, de la police et d'autres services.

Atlas France supports education programmes across the French speaking world including schools and training centres in Morocco, Madagascar, the Ivory Coast and Cambodia. As funds increase, we will create new programmes to help the poorest children on earth.

The success of rugby at lifting children out of poverty is well documented in Africa and Asia where kids are substantially improving their education, becoming young coaches, and strong, trusted individuals. This is leading to new employment in the health, fitness and security industries, the police and other services.
