ADSF - Agir pour la Santé des Femmes

What ADSF - Agir pour la Santé des Femmes does

ADSF - Agir pour la Santé des Femmes is a French nonprofit association (loi 1901) founded in 2001, headquartered in Paris (18 rue Bernard Dimey, 75018) with 32 employees and operations in Paris and Lille. Its mission is to improve healthcare access and overall health status for women in situations of great exclusion and precarity, including women without stable housing, migrants, and those disconnected from the mainstream healthcare system. Core services combine fixed day centers (Repaire Santé La Chapelle in Paris and Repaire Santé Lille) with mobile street outreach (maraudes) in both cities, offering gynecological consultations with midwives, rapid diagnostic testing (TROD) for HIV and Hepatitis B/C, group discussions and workshops on women's health topics, hygiene kit distribution, and orientation to medical, social, and legal services. A peer-support layer (Femmes Repaires) integrates former beneficiaries into governance and service delivery.

The association's "technology" is operational rather than digital: a multi-modal field service model pairing permanent physical infrastructure with mobile units. In 2025, ADSF completed its first impact measurement study evaluating avoided costs and economic/social effects, and it strengthened its advocacy function to public authorities. A formal catalogue of paid training and consulting services (prestations de formation) and prevention tools extends the model to external organizations such as municipalities and companies. All direct services to beneficiaries are free of charge.

Revenue comes primarily from donations collected via the HelloAsso platform, foundation and corporate partnerships, and public/private grants, supplemented by a modest B2B training revenue stream. Governance is exercised through a General Assembly and board including President Stefania Parigi, Secretary General Marie Rolland, Treasurer Huges Campan, and administrators drawn partly from the Femmes Repaires community. Planned 2026 initiatives include inauguration of a new Paris Repaire Santé, deployment of an Île-de-France mobile unit, and the opening of a Marseille branch, signaling a measured multi-city expansion ahead of the association's 25th anniversary.
