About us
Recycled glasses with partner opticians, school kits for children of the Atlas, direct support to families in Jordan: we only fund what we can follow, document and prove.

What we do
Concrete programmes, born in the field, carried out with our sister association Blackbirds.
Surplus lenses recovered from partner opticians, recut on site: new glasses for people without access to them.
School kits (coat, shoes, packed schoolbag) and classroom equipment in villages of the Moroccan Atlas.
Direct support to vulnerable families and an orphanage in Jordan, through our field liaison.
Collections in Europe, optimised transport (€1 per collected coat covers its shipping), documented distribution.
In the field
No abstract promises: dated missions, verifiable numbers, proof on arrival.
Partner opticians donate their surplus lenses; we recut them on site with mobile machines. Tangier pilot mission: about 100 pairs made in 3 days.
A coat, shoes, a packed schoolbag — and glasses if the child needs them. 460 pairs of new winter shoes are already in stock.
€21,400 already distributed through our field liaison, including €2,000 for an orphanage's rent. Every distribution is documented with photos and videos.
In the Atlas, a single room often serves an entire village — sometimes without desks or chairs. Goal: equip the first classrooms during the October mission.

Two countries, two legal frameworks — but one team, one ledger, and the same proof on arrival. For you, nothing changes: your donation is traced the same way, whichever door you come through.
