How can it help you?

Schooling and care

To guarantee access to education for every child, La Voix de l’Enfant and its partner associations provide children in need with financial support for their schooling, the supply of school materials, access to school care, and academic support.

Access to culture and sports

With its partners, La Voix de l’Enfant supports recreational and cultural activities for children with socio-educational difficulties. The association develops programs that allow children to practice sports, attend shows, visit museums, or other.

Reception and listening

The pediatric reception units for children at risk (UAPED) were created by La Voix de l’Enfant. These units are located in hospitals and take care of children who are victims of sexual violence and other forms of abuse.

Protection and defense

La Voix de l’Enfant provides legal support to child victims and acts as a civil party in cases where social services are not functioning correctly. The association also offers therapeutic care for child victims of sexual violence or other forms of abuse.
