Core values

- **Addressing Societal Needs**: The organization focuses on combating the isolation and solitude of elderly individuals, particularly the most vulnerable, which is a significant societal issue. In France, for example, 530,000 elderly people live in a state of "social death," devoid of meaningful social connections[1][3][5].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The actions of the Petits Frères des Pauvres aim to restore social connections, provide emotional support, and help elderly individuals regain a sense of purpose and joy in life. This includes various activities such as visits, collective events, vacations, and material and moral aid[1][3].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: The organization works to change societal attitudes towards aging, raises awareness about the issues faced by the elderly, and mobilizes citizens to engage in combating social isolation. They also advocate for policy changes and public awareness campaigns[1][3][5].
- **Contributing to Community Well-being**: By engaging a large number of volunteers (15,067 in 2022) and creating a sense of community, the organization fosters a more fraternal society. Their actions include organizing events, providing housing, and ensuring that elderly individuals are not forgotten or marginalized[1].
