SINGA

Singa

Founded in 2012, the association Singa does not work “for” refugees, but “with” them.

Starting from the premise that only 12% of the refugees in France have a link with the French,
and considering that the first step toward better integration is the encounter,
Singa puts refugees in contact with citizens of their host country.

The association creates the conditions of the encounter, around shared interests (sports, dance, theater, …)
and also around projects: resuming studies, job hunting, and business creation.

The project Singa’s actions are based on 3 main tools: - A community that brings together refugees and citizens who share interests. - An incubator which accompanies refugees or persons who wish to receive refugees in their business creation. - A digital platform for refugees who are looking for a temporary accommodation and citizens with a room to accommodate them.  
Our engagement Singa also has a media called "Traits d’union" to tell and broadcast different stories on asylum. So that the term refugee is not associated with "threat" or "victim", but rather with "friend", "entrepreneur" "geek", or "history buff". Changing perceptions and the terms of the debate in order to change policies and society. The association is based in Paris, Lyon, Montpellier, Lille, Saint-Étienne and Grenoble. Since 2018, our support totaled 30,000 €.
