Useful and important places in Marseille
Thankfully in Marseille, you feel there are a lots of places to get help.
The most important place in my personal experience is “Le Manba”(n.d.a. the source, in arab -Collective to support migrants people) : you could think of this place as the ‘mother and father’ of my experience in the city.
If a migrant goes to the Manba, most of his problems will be solved or at least he will find someone who will take his hand and try to find solutions.
In the street, someone talk to me about “Manba” and i found helpful and understanding peoples to help.
There is also the African center not far from Noailles neighbourhood. They give French courses, help with appointments and support migrants in their various procedures.
When you meet peoples, at the Cimade for example, especially elderly people who come to help, it gives you hope that you’ll be able to cope better with life’s difficulties.
Even if sometimes, you can feel frustrated or lost… when people around us do something and look for solutions for the vulnerable, it gives a boost to life.
