Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières
In mid-November, we will be launching our annual appeal to top up ESSF’s permanent Asia Solidarity Fund for the year 2025. Last year, the response to this appeal was very encouraging: we received 31,000 euros, plus additional donations sent over the months. This has enabled us to ensure the continuity of financial support for our Asian partners right up to the present day. However, our reserves are currently too low to maintain this support until next December. Once again, we need your help to ‘bridge the gap’ between now and January 2025.
Solidarity !
ESSF is an association for international solidarity. Its website informs on peoples struggles as well as on in-depth debates. It wishes to be a tool for all those fighting for a world of solidarity.
