The advice of Muriel Lacroix-Prongarbe

The point of view of Muriel Lacroix-Prongarbe, a committed entrepreneur

Dear Isabelle, once is not customary, I invite you to careful before I start, because the associations of assistance for the most disadvantaged suffer from the absence of volunteers, lack of means and locals. That said, the luggageies that have faced these difficulties represent considerable support for the return to a “normal” life of homeless people.

By allowing them to relieve their business for a few hours, take a shower, print their documents, chat around a hot coffee, these places make a job search or accommodation easier. My only advice: don’t get started alone. Start by creating an association-or rely on an already existing structure.

The process takes time. You can use it to estimate the number of potential beneficiaries in your town. A kind of “market study” that will allow you to assess the needs in premises or equipment. Perhaps you will have to give up this project and imagine another. But keep your interest intact for these ideas that allow everyone, helped and volunteers, to flee!
