France
A new DU initiative has been launched in Grenoble, France in September
2009, in cooperation with CARITAS - Secours Catholique.

Secours Catholique’s aim is to "bring help either directly or
indirectly, morally or materially, wherever it is needed, irrespective
of beneficiaries’ philosophical or religious faith”. Its actions in
France include initiatives in favor of family, childhood and youth,
homeless, unemployed, prisoners, migrants and gypsies. Secours
Catholique is also active throughout the world in the field of
development and international emergencies. Its functioning is based on
volunteer work.
