Fund Horizon SEPR – Donner pour une vie !

A historic vocational training institution in Lyon, SEPR (Société d’enseignement professionnel du Rhône) has been working for 150 years to help young people enter the workforce. Through its Horizon endowment fund, SEPR has launched the “Donner pour une vie!” (Give for Life!) project with Evolem Citoyen to support learners in highly precarious situations. The aim of this initiative is to remove financial barriers (housing, health, transportation) to prevent school dropouts. In 2025, this program provided living grants to seven young learners below high school level who were experiencing difficulties. Each beneficiary receives €700 per month for 10 renewable months. In addition to this grant, enhanced social support ensures equal opportunities and perseverance toward graduation and employment.
