In 1947, at the end of the Second World War, the situation of children was particularly worrying. It is in this context that the French Child Protection Center was created, from which France Parrainages originated.
The French Child Protection Center allows French war orphans to benefit from financial support, thanks to the sponsorship of Canadian, Swedish, New Zealand and American families. Since 1947, France Parrainages has never ceased to keep its promise and its values of sharing, commitment and proximity by helping more than 100,000 deprived or isolated children in France and in the poorest countries.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be sent in a cardboard backed envelope for protection.
