“Sea Couriers” initiative was born thanks to the common will of some sailors to make their journey a new way of bringing solidarity along their routes
Sailors who sail for leisure, sport and work
An association of people who have often decided to sail for long period of time and had the possibility to observe the places visited along their journey in a more thinkful way
Sea courier Doreen from Vela Bianca at Zinguinchor - Senegal
The long sailing route allows to observe various human realities
All thise realities are made of great human richness, even when affected by a huge material and cultural poverty. Many people living in such realities are strongly committed to progress regardless the lack of means
Sea Couriers Sea Couriers was born on top of this idea: many people existe who are willing to improve their life standards and social conditions but they often do not have the means to do it

To these goodwill people we try to offer a new mean to improve their life: “sailing” energies
An information network allowing to identify needs, social projects and whatever situation where we can sail on the waves of solidarity
An information network allowing our little great help to reach directly the hands of those who need it thanks to sailors heading to various destinations
