petits-freres-des-pauvres logoIn order to address the rising isolation phenomenon among seniors in France, AGE French member organisation les petits frères des Pauvres got mobilized with the support of a large number of volunteers to bring assistance and company to about 2500 lonely and frail older people during the summer.

In addition to daily support on the ground, holidays are also organised between June and September in 18 holiday homes.
