    L'association Aidafrique existe depuis 1990. Elle a déjà organisé 16 missions en Afrique de l'Est, apportant médicaments, vivres, vêtements et soins aux victimes des conflits civils réfugiées en ex-Zaïre ou en Tanzanie, et ce sans distinction ethnique, raciale ou religieuse.

    It seems they work other places than Africa:

    Posted by Steve on Friday, October 12, 2001 at 20:43:13 :
    I'm in the process of researching the activities and background of a French NGO called AIDAFRIQUE. This NGO has provided humanitarian assistance in various African countries and Vietnam through a subsidiary NGO called AIDAFRIQUE AU VIET NAM. AIDAFRIQUE has previously assisted and been assisted by UNHCR, but is not a UNHCR Partner.
    I would appreciate it if anyone with "any knowledge" of this NGO would provide such to me. I am particularly interested in knowing whether it is an approved NGO Partner of any UN department.
    Thanks.

    I ran across this charity name today and used our new handy dandy search feature to see if it had been mentioned here.

    I was amazed to see the watchtower DOES have a real charity?

    anyone have any more info on this? why was it created? was it because of frances decision to tax the jw's?

    is it still an active charity? if it is, it "was" or "is" an NGO so that would mean the watchtower still has active ties to the un.
