The main purpose of Emel Tounes Association consists in promoting the sense of “Citizenship” among Tunisian people, and how to develop with them a continuous and ever growing feeling of attachment and care to the Country related concerns. In order to achieve this goal we have chosen to focus on three main themes as a strategy building tool whether it was a punctual event, a permanent campaign or a long term applied project adopted by the organization : - Tunisian Woman’s direct or indirect involvement, taken into account her status as “the first educator of the nation”, and her biggest impact on society starting from the very family cell. - Environment protection and sustainable development approach, given the tangible results of the green actions and its quick positive impact on people, boosting in them further motivation and involvement. - Charity targeting purpose guided by our deep belief in the necessity to have a merciful humanitarian benefit on people in every action we undertake.
The first action of Association Emel Tounes is "Collecting Caps of Solidarity" campaign, which was launched in collaboration with the Association of Myopathy of Tunisia (AMT). The slogan of this action is "Let's pick up the caps, let’s overcome Disability", and it consists on providing recyclers of plastic caps that were collected by our citizens to finance the purchase of wheelchairs (manual or electric) and to distribute them to people with disabilities who are also suffering from poverty. The action "Collecting Caps of Solidarity" is, in the opinion of many, an exceptional action because, by giving a simple "plastic cap", it helps build a sustainable civic solidarity. In deed , by urging people to collect plastic caps, we attract their attention to the difficulties the disabled persons are living, especially if added to poverty. In addition, picking a cap thrown on the ground contributes to the protection of the environment that we all share.
Social networking is playing a great role in promoting civil society 's activities in Tunisia.
I wish to join ALF Network in order to promote our association and gain regional and international support to our causes as well as exchange experiences and learn in order to perfect the association results. We are also ready to share our know-how and assist other organisations working on the same field or even others.
