Our vision
In 2011, the president of the Donne-Moi des Ailes association had the opportunity to attend the presentation of the Dream Center by Pastor Tommy Barnett. This reintegration center, located in the hills of Los Angeles, demonstrated an extraordinary impact, not only on the city but also on thousands of transformed lives. At that moment, he felt a deep calling to replicate this vision in the Francophone world, which led him to create the Donne-Moi des Ailes association.
Since 2007, he has been involved in the nonprofit sector, notably through the Solid'Act association, which he co-founded. Solid'Act operated in Côte d'Ivoire until 2020 in the field of education, implementing reintegration and support programs for the most vulnerable. From 2016 to 2020, as one of the key leaders, he also played a crucial role in the distribution of meals to disadvantaged people in Paris, organizing outreach efforts and an annual large-scale event known as the "1000 Christmas Meals."
Recognizing the need to further structure these initiatives, he decided to focus activities around the Donne-Moi des Ailes association. The vision of this association is simple and ambitious:
"To build oasis centers in all Francophone countries in Africa, Oceania, and the Caribbean, where every individual can realize their potential and live with dignity."
