Emmaüs community
The Emmaüs community is a social movement founded in 1949 by Abbé Pierre in France. It aims to support homeless and marginalized individuals by providing them with shelter, work, and a sense of belonging. The community operates through various local groups that focus on social reintegration and empowerment.
Members of the Emmaüs community engage in activities such as recycling and selling second-hand goods to generate income. This approach not only helps fund their initiatives but also promotes sustainability. The community emphasizes solidarity, encouraging members to work together and support one another in rebuilding their lives.
