According to the Fondation de France, one in four women suffers from isolation in France, often more intensely than men. This feeling of loneliness can arise when social ties break: after a divorce, widowhood, burnout, health issues, or a difficult life transition such as children leaving home or moving. One can be surrounded by people yet still feel alone.
Providenti'elles provides a space for rebuilding: women find a café, a garden, activities, and workshops to develop their skills. These houses welcome all women, regardless of their background, focusing on themes such as employment, well-being, social interaction, and health prevention.
“These are follow-up care services to regain the energy to live,” explains Anne Huc. “An innovative way to emerge stronger and regain footing after a life disruption.”
