Lëtz Rise Up is a feminist and anti-racist organisation founded in October 2019, whose mission is to fight against all forms of exclusion, including those related to gender, race, religion, sexual orientation and disability. It carries out its actions through the organisation of training, conferences and artistic events.

L'Œuvre pour la Protection de la Vie Naissante asbl: preventing abortion and helping women out of distress
The aim of the Œuvre pour la Protection de la Vie Naissante asbl is to ensure that the specific value of all human life from the moment of conception is respected. Consequently, it aims to promote all appropriate medical, educational and social measures to eliminate the root causes of abortion, and in particular, to organise and support counselling, reception and mutual aid services to this end.

Fondation Luxembourg-El Salvador: a shelter for women in distress
The mission of the Fondation Luxembourg-El Salvador shelter is to provide for the most urgent needs of the beneficiaries and their children, to help them overcome crises, to accompany them in a process of improving their self-confidence, and to develop their capacity to work so that in the near future they can find a job and provide for themselves. The shelter also welcomes women who are victims of domestic violence.

I register as a volunteer
Since 2002, the Agence du Bénévolat's mission has been to promote and develop volunteering in Luxembourg among organisations that call on volunteers, the general public and the public authorities.
Anne Hoffmann, executive director of the Agence du Bénévolat, was recently a guest on Radio Ara. This was a good opportunity to recall our services in favour of volunteers and organisations.
