About AFEA

 

Non-Governmental Organization...

The AFEA was founded in 1967 by a young women from the city of Nantes, Jacqueline Delhoste in order to provide financial support to Snehasadan.

The organization is managed by a Board of Administration whose members are all volunterrs (excepted a secretary working part-time). The working expenses are reduced and transparent. The AFEA accounts overs 1200 members and is the sole approved french organization to collect funds for Snehasadan.

For 40 years AFEA has been strenghtening warm and friendly relations with Snehasadan through regular contacts and visits un Mumbai (at the expense of each volunteer willing to travel to India). Today the AFEA is extending the same actions to Snehasadan friendly organization : Navajyothi and Anand Ashram, both handled by friends and relations of Father Placido Fonseca.

The AFEA uses communication only if it is free. The enthusiasm and word of mouthof our members are the best way to promote our organization.
