The mission of Les Faons

The mission of Les Faons is to host 18 children between the ages of 0 and 18 years who have been placed in care by the authorities. A great deal of work is also done with their families, be they biological or foster, with the end goal of their independence. These children are damaged by life and often become institutionalised. At Les Faons, they are cared for in a familial environment with the aim of preparing them for life in the real world, through structure and kindness in their everyday lives. Les Faons is part of a larger non-profit organisation, La Maison Heureuse, and has been hosting volunteers via the SPJ for more than 20 years, almost constantly.
