SOS Faim's
For over 30 years, SOS Faim’s mission has been to help transform agricultural and food systems by financing and supporting people committed to sustainable family farming and promoting responsible food consumption. Nothing would be possible without the generosity of those who choose to help our association. The support of our private and public donors is invaluable because it enables us to take action.
This year, SOS Faim was able to count on the generosity of 2,468 donors. This outpouring of generosity enabled us to collect EUR 609,924.03 in private donations. Thanks to extremely rigorous management over the years, SOS Faim is in good financial health, which means we can look to the future with confidence. We sincerely thank you for your support.

As a non-profit organisation, SOS Faim is required by law to have a General Assembly (GA), which is currently made up of 45 members. The AGM approves the strategy, the audited annual financial statements, the allocation of profits and the budget. Every two years, it elects a Board of Directors. The Board currently comprises seven directors: Céline Depiesse (Chairman), Gary Diderich, David Hiez, Chloé Kolb (Secretary), Alexandre Mortelette, Bineta Oosterhaven Ndoye (Treasurer and Vice-Chairman) and Raymond Weber. Two General Meetings were held in 2024: a statutory meeting on 27 June and a thematic meeting on 16 November.
In terms of the operational team, 2024 saw the departure of Thierry Defense (Director), Nedjma Bennegouch (Coordinator of the Partnership Support Service) and Maria Zambrano (Partner Support Service). In September 2024, Delphine Dethier joined the team as Director.
