Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil International
The Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil International (FAAI) is a Swiss charitable foundation established in 2013. It supports the international cooperation projects of the Fondation Apprentis d’Auteuil (established in 1866) in partnership with local actors.
Our international activities focus on four main areas:
- Protection of children in street situations
- Support to families
- Integration and entrepreneurship
- Advocacy for children’s rights
In Switzerland, FAAI supports young people who have dropped out of school in its vocational integration restaurant, through a diploma course.
Our commitments
- We work in partnership with local organizations, where everyone contributes their expertise for the benefit of the community to enrich and improve the support we provide to vulnerable young people and families.
- We accompany young people until their integration and help families assume their parenting role: Our work always begins in the street, with the ultimate goal of reintegrating the young people into school and the workplace.
- Together, we develop innovative educational solutions by sharing experiences and know-how across borders to enrich our partners’ support methods and systems.
- We give children a voice and defend their rights around the world: At the national and international levels, we draw policymakers’ attention to the situation of children and urge them to take action so that every child has a dignified and fulfilling life and can build a future.
