Fund daily frontline support in Grande-Synthe
Your donation helps fund water access, hygiene, charging, Wi-Fi, waste management and volunteer-led daily support for displaced people in northern France. We receive no government funding.
Why Roots?
Roots provides practical services that people use every day: water, hygiene support, charging, Wi-Fi, cleaner living areas and community access points. These are not extras. They are essential for dignity, communication, health and safety.

Where your money goes
We use donations to keep core services running: materials and maintenance for water, sanitation and hygiene services, charging and communications infrastructure, waste-management supplies, vehicle and logistics costs, and the practical equipment our volunteer team needs to deliver daily support.

Monthly support helps Roots plan ahead. It makes it easier to maintain regular services, buy supplies before they run low, and respond faster when needs change on the ground.
