Meeting the basic needs of people in need—such as hygiene and food assistance—are specific objectives of the Foundation.
Precariousness refers to a situation of economic, social, and sometimes energy-related instability that limits access to fundamental rights. It can affect employment, housing, health, education, access to energy, or food.
In France, several million people live below the poverty line, and many others are at risk of quickly falling into situations of vulnerability.
This reality affects families, young people, women, and workers alike. The phenomenon of the working poor clearly illustrates this paradox: having a job no longer automatically guarantees a decent standard of living.
Precarious working conditions, insufficient income, mandatory part-time work, and furloughs are all factors that contribute to perpetuating these situations.
Precariousness also has cumulative effects. It is not limited to a temporary lack of resources; it often leads to restrictions on life choices, a decline in health, social isolation, and even a loss of stability for households.
Life paths are rarely straightforward, and escaping poverty requires a variety of approaches.
Understanding the many facets of precariousness is essential to taking effective action.
The Onet Foundation focuses its efforts on two major forms of vulnerability: food insecurity and lack of access to sanitation.
Poor sanitation deprives many people—women, young people, and the homeless—of regular access to basic necessities.
In March, the Onet Foundation is coordinating a drive to collect hygiene products, which will be distributed to local organizations. Employees can also get involved on the ground, for example by working with UNISOAP to assemble and deliver hygiene kits.
