Emaus Rosario Charity Profile
Emmaus International has 306 groups spread over 36 countries reaching to the 4 corners of the world and dating back to 1971. The international headquarters is in France. The Emmaus groups work with and for the poorest in society, to fight against the causes of exclusion in a wide variety of different economic and political contexts.
Emaus Rosario Volunteer Information
We call the volunteers who lend a hand to the Emmaus groups 'Friends'. The role of a Friend depends on his/her abilities and expectations, and on the needs of the Emmaus group of course. Collecting or sorting clothes, literacy projects, running leisure activities, a Friend can get involved in all the group's activities, bringing his/her skills and good humour! A Friend helps to nurture the link between marginalised people and society. He or she does contribute a great deal, but the benefits are shared: the person who gains most is not always who you might expect!
