  • Action Humanitaire (AH)

    An outreach organization committed to providing free health care services to children and adults in the community of Cavaillon and its surrounding villages. Since 2010, AH has been in the forefront of educating the communities about cholera, distributing water purification tablets and feeding about 400 children thanks to its partnership with other humanitarian organizations.

AH’s goal is to build a public health center to improve the living conditions of the people of Anotte in Cavaillon, by providing free access to basic and quality healthcare while reducing the mortality rate. This project would also benefit other regional communities like Bercy, Cassignol, Berette, Mission and Mapangue.
