Our history<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\n
\n
\n

During the Gulf War in Iraq and then during the fratricidal conflict in Rwanda, Herv\u00e9 Dubois, then founder of ATLAS and head of M\u00e9decin du Monde’s logistics activity, realised that certain skills and know-how of citizens and employees could be useful for international solidarity. In 2000, he founded the Cong\u00e9 Solidaire\u00ae association, which promotes corporate volunteering alongside key players in international solidarity such as Jean-Pierre Delomier, Wanda Hoesch, Pierre Levy and Antoine Vaccaro.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

It was following the 2004 earthquake in the Indian Ocean, which caused a tsunami off the coast of Indonesia, that the NGO decided to offer a comprehensive response to the challenges of development by combining the provision of skills with projects that linked the environment and development. It then changed its name to Plan\u00e8te Urgence. In 2017, Plan\u00e8te Urgence joined the SOS Group and became one of the NGOs in the Group’s international solidarity division. Since January 2024, it has been chaired by Nicolas Froissard. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
