Sea Couriers initiative was born thanks to the
common will of some sailors to make their journey
a new way of bringing solidarity along their
routes Sailors who sail for leisure, sport and
work An association of people who have often
decided to sail for long period of time and had
the possibility to observe the places visited
along their journey in a more thinkful way

The long sailing route allows to observe various
human realities All thise realities are made of
great human richness, even when affected by a
huge material and cultural poverty. Many people
living in such realities are strongly committed
to progress regardless the lack of means Sea
Couriers was born on top of this idea many
people existe who are willing to improve their
life standards and social conditions but they
often do not have the means to do it

To these goodwill people we try to offer a new
mean to improve their life sailing energies
An information network allowing to identify
needs, social projects and whatever situation
where we can sail on the waves of solidarity An
information network allowing our little great
help to reach directly the hands of those who
need it thanks to sailors heading to various
destinations

exists which cannot come true! Nobody is so poor
not to help the others as nobody is so rich not
to need others help
