📢 Official Announcement: TSSR is Legally Registered in France! 🚀🇫🇷

We are thrilled and incredibly proud to announce that The Shelter Students’ Refuge (TSSR) is officially registered as a Civil Society Organization (CSO) under the French 1901 Association Law!

This is a monumental step forward for our team, our community, and the youth we serve. 🌟

Our Mission?

To champion the socio-professional integration of young people from minorities and the African diaspora. We are dedicated to equipping them with the tools, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive and effectively step into key decision-making roles at all levels. 💼🌍

What’s Next?

With this official legal status, TSSR is now fully empowered to build strategic institutional partnerships, launch structured mentorship programs, and drive high-impact advocacy campaigns across France and beyond. We are ready to build bridges, unlock potential, and amplify the voices of the next generation of global leaders.

A massive thank you to our founders, our Executive Director, and everyone who has supported us in turning this vision into a reality.

The hard work begins now! 💪✨

Stay tuned for our upcoming projects and find out how you can get involved. 🤝

Honored to be represented by Franck Rictus Ngongang at the Fifth Session of the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent. 🌍✊🏾

This is more than a seat at the table—it’s a responsibility to amplify the voices of Afrodescendant migrants, students, and communities too often unheard.

From Northern Cyprus to the global stage, we continue to advocate for dignity, inclusion, and justice.

The work continues. The voices rise.

From survival to solidarity, from silence to advocacy.
