Today, 135 children and adolescents aged 3 to 21 with physical disabilities attend one of the Escalpade schools, and 25 adults participate in the activities of the Day Center.

The Little Things

Since 1937, the ASBL Les Petits Riens has been collecting, sorting and selling second-hand items. These activities help finance social projects. With the objective: to participate in the construction of a fairer and more united society. Through access to housing and work, encourage everyone to gain autonomy while remaining aware of the link that connects us to others and to the environment.

To help this non-profit organization, you can make a donation to the account BE33-0000-1902-6346 with the communication “INTER”.

The funds collected therefore make it possible to finance housing and professional reintegration projects and also provide psychological support to people in difficulty.

Street Nurses

The most vulnerable group on the street is made up of men and women who are in very poor health, have combined physical and mental health problems and have lived on the street for several years. Generally, they are totally cut off from medical and social services. This is the specific group of people that the street nurses aim to help.

In Brussels and in Liège, the street nurses provide these people with long-term medical and social follow-up. Their ultimate aim is to help the poor off the streets and bring them back into sustainable, worthy and appropriate housing, such as an individual apartment or a care home.

You can donate via a bank transfer to Street nurses’ account:
IBAN: BE91 0014 6955 7676 – BIC : GEBABEBB.

Write your e-mail in the « communication » field if you wish to receive the declaration for your taxes by electronic means.
