Our Association Support

Bobbies is like a tightly-knit family that is growing every year. Our motto is: humans come first. It is important to us to share our values and luck, this is why supporting associations has been one of our core preoccupations since we started. Protecting children in danger, supporting populations in need… our partners’ actions are based on helping people in distress.

Bobbies organizes two charity sales a year. The principle? An online sale of models from past seasons for which all the profits are given to our partner associations. Over the years, we have supported the Grandir Ailleurs, PSE - Pour un Sourire d'Enfant, Beit el Baraka, ACTED, Le Fonds Arménien de France, Les Blouses Roses et Toutes à l’École associations. Discover more below about each of these associations.

Over the years, we have given 367,516 € to our partner associations.

Since October 2019, we have also made a commitment to the A Tree for You association by inviting our clients, when they place their order, to make a donation to support tree-planting projects. Bobbies then matches the amount of each donation received.

As of today, we have given them 80,351 € meaning that over 10,000 trees have been planted around the world.


Grandir Ailleurs

Grandir Ailleurs develops programs to help street children in Madagascar.

Support & Protection

Disaffected street children are often orphans or come from violent homes. The association's challenge is to insure their fundamental rights: the right to protection and non-discrimation, the right to be fed, sheltered, cared for, educated and even the right to have leisure activities.

Education

Besides projects to build and renovate schools, educative activites are set up in the most disadventaged neighborhoods in Madagascar plus children benefit from social aid to help them renew contacts with their families.

Lodging

Each night the temporary housing shelter in Antsirabe welcomes children from ages 8 to 16 and each day the mobile assistance team does nighttime cruises to find, feed and offer children medical and psychological services.

Fonds Arménien de France

Established in 1993, the Armenian Fund of France’s mission is to build and renovate essential infrastructures for the socio-economic development of Armenia and Karabakh: electricity grids, pipes, roads, bridges, social housing, schools and hospitals. The Armenian Hayastan Fund also collects donations to give food pensions to Armenian and Karabakhian orphans - there were over 8,000 after the war.

The Armenian Hayastan Fund actively participated in building and rehabilitating housing, schools, hospitals and infrastructures all over Armenia, especially in the northern regions of Shirak and Lori, damaged during the December 7, 1988 earthquake.

In contrast with Armenia, Karabakh does not benefit from any international fund aid. However the war affected almost every village and city there. As soon as the war was over in May 1994, the Armenian Hayastan Fund decided to put 2/3 of its investments in this region to let it heal its wounds and develop.

The Armenian Fund’s projects are handled by local companies and also try, through this undertaking, to create jobs. Supporting local populations, developing agricultural programs, doing professional trainings, teaching and overseeing sanitary projects: discover the actions and projects more in detail at Fonds Arménien de France.

Toutes à l'école

The mission of the Toutes à l’Ecole association, founded by journalist Tina Kieffer in 2005, is to save the most impoverished little girls in Cambodia through education so they will grow up to be free, educated women able to defend themselves against prostitution and be able to build a more just, humane world that is more respectful of our planet.

Each year, 100 5 and 6-year-old girls from the poorest families enter the nursery school of the Happy Chandara campus in the suburbs of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. They then have the opportunity to pursue a high-level curriculum taught in Khmer, English and French through primary, middle and high school.

The association’s action go on as the young graduates continue their studies. They are housed in two Chandara Student Home hostels in Phnom Penh where they can build an autonomous adult life in a secure environment.

The Happy Chandara campus also has a medical-social center, two boarding schools, a permaculture center and helps families OR impoverished families as well.
