About Us

OUR STORY

The 1MPT (Une Maison Pour Tous) project was born of a simple idea: to offer a roof over the heads of people who have none. The idea was born in the mind of Paul, a civil engineer who worked for several years in developing countries, where he witnessed the poverty and precariousness of many families. He decided to put his skills and experience at the service of a humanitarian cause and to create an organization that could finance and build houses for the most disadvantaged.

He was joined by Sophie, a social worker who shares his vision and passion, and who is responsible for selecting and supporting the beneficiary families. Together, they launched the 1MPT project in September 2023, with the ambition of building around ten homes a year, wherever the need is felt.

Since then, the 1MPT project has grown and developed, thanks to the support of numerous donors, sponsors, volunteers, partners, and the media, who believed in their dream and helped to make it a reality.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide a roof over the heads of the most disadvantaged people who do not have enough income to build a home for themselves. We want to offer them a home that will enable them to live with dignity, to feel at home, and to build their future.

HOW WE PROCEED ?

We collect donations through ongoing fund-raising, we select eligible families according to objective criteria, and we start building the houses as soon as the budget is reached. We keep our donors, sponsors and volunteers informed of the progress of the project, and show them the tangible results of their generosity.
