Orphéopolis also welcomes its protégés, when necessary, in its villages of Agde, Bourges and Nancy and offers adult students who are continuing their studies apartments in the major university towns.
Some numbers :
o 3,000 orphans supported, including 1,000 minors.
o a capacity of 150 young people in our villages and apartments.
o 124,000 active donors.
