At Maisons du Monde, we firmly believe that companies have a role to play in society. That’s why we support grassroots associations working on the ground. Together, we continue to take meaningful action to protect the environment and support those in need.
Concrete support through the creation of inclusive living spaces

By donating thousands of products each year to partner associations, Maisons du Monde helps bring comfort and warmth to beneficiaries by furnishing welcoming and sustainable living spaces for all. Since 2022, we have helped create 83 inclusive living spaces, including 25 specifically dedicated to women in need.

As part of this initiative, Maisons du Monde contributed to the furnishing of several living spaces in 2024:

  • La Cité Audacieuse (Fondation des Femmes) provides a space in Paris where women and associations can host events and conferences.
  • The new shelter of the Collectif contre les violences familiales et l’exclusion (CVFE) in Belgium offers a safe place for 22 women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
  • The Maison des Femmes de Meurthe-et-Moselle (Groupe SOS) welcomes women and their children who have experienced violence after their arrival at the Mont-Saint-Martin hospital.
  • The “Un toit pour l’avenir” project (Fondation de l’Armée du Salut) provides a shelter in Reims for women fleeing domestic violence.
  • The Maison des Femmes at Montpellier University Hospital (Fonds Guilhem) supports women who are victims of domestic and family violence, sexual assault, rape, or incest.
  • Rehabilitated apartments in Asturias, Spain, by the Fundación Amaranta, provide safe housing for women who have experienced violence.
  • The Maison des Femmes Marseille-Provence offers multidisciplinary support to women who are victims of violence or in vulnerable situations.
  • The City Hall of Cachan (94) provides emergency shelter for women and children facing domestic violence.
  • The RoseUp Houses in Paris and Bordeaux support women affected by cancer, helping them through their journey from diagnosis, during treatment, and up to a year after.

A solidarity candle to extend our commitment

To enable its customers to take part in these efforts and highlight the work of partner associations, Maisons du Monde launches a solidarity candle every year, with all proceeds donated to the Fondation des Femmes. After the success of the edition illustrated by Agathe Singer in November 2024, a reissue has been available since March 5, 2025, to celebrate International Women’s Rights Day.
