The Emmaus Movement is an international organization founded in 1949 in France. It aims to support homeless and marginalized individuals by providing them with opportunities for work, social integration, and personal development. The movement encourages communities to engage in solidarity and promote social justice. Members of the Emmaus Movement often establish local groups, known as Emmaus Communities, where they work together to create sustainable livelihoods. These communities focus on recycling and selling donated goods, which helps fund their social initiatives. The movement emphasizes the importance of dignity, respect, and empowerment for those in need.
