Recognised as being of public utility, it operates across the Ariège department in France. The association works in three areas of activity: child protection, support for women who are victims of violence, and education and disability support. Its services include school support, parenting support, leisure centres, and assistance for children and young people with disabilities. Its roots lie in helping war orphans and families affected by the First World War, and it has long run holiday programmes for children, notably at the Castillon estate in Tarnos, which was sold in 2005. Its current work centres on inclusion, education, personal development and access to rights for all.
