Safran sponsors concert to benefit Haiti

The Safran group is sponsoring a special concert given by the Orchestre de l’Alliance on Monday, March 22 in the Salle Gaveau concert hall in Paris. All receipts from the concert, dubbed Fidesco Urgence Haiti, will go to Fidesco, a non-governmental organization that has been active for a dozen years in Haiti. These funds will be used by Fidesco to construct a primary school in Port-au-Prince, large enough for up to 500 children.

Fidesco is one of the largest French NGOs based on international volunteer work recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Created in 1981, it is primarily active in countries in the Southern hemisphere, where it supports development projects and initiatives to help local populations.

After seeing its educational facilities destroyed by the earthquake in Haiti, Fidesco wanted to start again as soon as possible on other reconstruction and sustainable development projects with its Haitian partners. This generous concert will give them a critical running start.
