According to the observatory of generosity , between 2011 and 2012, donations to major associations and foundations increased by 17.7%. In order for this generous tendency not to be reversed in spite of the crisis , the original initiatives multiply and make the gift easy and light for our wallets .
Rounding up to the top euro
Our receipt reached 14.67 € and if paying 15 € we helped an association ? This is the principle of " solidarity rounding " launched by microDon . Our 33 cents will be donated to the French Red Cross and Secours Populaire to finance local solidarity actions near the point of sale. It is only necessary to verify that the sign participates in the operation " L'Arrondi " and equipped its caisses with software to distinguish the rounding of the actual amount of races .
For now, only Franprix play the game.

Recycle your old toys
Thanks to the Rejoué association , abandoned toys are sorted and repaired by 14 employees in insertion jobs before being resold at solidarity prices . The toys can be placed in the workshop located in the 14th in Paris, or in collection points. The association organizes home-based collections in Ile-de-France in November, December, May and June, provided that they have three boxes of toys to give .

So by giving 29 € to the association, we offer 5 chickens and 1 cock to the family of the child. In other words, 150 eggs per year. For 30 euros, a child is vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, measles and tuberculosis. For 65 euros, we offer a birth kit that ensures the basic hygiene necessary for a childbirth. And for 12 euros, we offer 2 mosquito nets (essential in countries affected by malaria).
