Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
The rent collected by the guesthouse is directly invested in the "AJIR" Social Institution.
Inaugurated in December 1996, AJIR (Youth Social Reintegration Help) was funded by Jean-François Favreau with the philanthropic association "Diamantine Ton Coeur" financial investments. The Institution is dedicated to motivating young people to find productive work opportunities, and offers a secure atmosphere for individual development. AJIR provides a home and food to young, vulnerable people and invests in developing their personal skills which will help them become responsible citizens in the community.
