Other contacts and useful links

FAIRE is part of a large ecosystem of organizations, support structures and charities which are committed to facilitating the administrative, economic and social inclusion of refugees and migrants in France. We have provided a non-exhaustive list of a few structures offering services outside of FAIRE's focus of activity, that we hope can help meet your various needs.
