What SOS Enfants NAMUR asbl does

SOS Enfants NAMUR asbl is a Belgian non-profit association (asbl) headquartered in Namur (Saint-Servais) that provides child maltreatment prevention and intervention services under the agréé framework of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. Founded in 1984 as 'Parenfants-Namur', it is one of 15 SOS Enfants teams operating under the decree of 12 May 2004, which defines the missions of aid to child victims of maltreatment, and is approved by the Communauté française and subsidized by ONE (Office de la Naissance et de l'Enfance). The organization serves children who are victims or at risk of physical, sexual, psychological maltreatment or serious neglect, their families, and professionals (teachers, social workers, Pep's) confronting such situations, delivering services in French through a multidisciplinary team of social workers, psychologists, a jurist, a general practitioner, a clinical lead, and a director. Core services include signal reception and analysis, multidisciplinary evaluation of the child and family environment, individual and family psychotherapy, professional supervision, and institutional interventions; two specialized programs — 'Maintenant J'en Parle' (an anonymous chat platform for adolescent victims of sexual abuse) and 'Tangram' (a therapeutic group program for adolescents who are victims of intra-family sexual violence) — extend the offering to digital and group-based modalities. The business model is non-commercial: services are free to beneficiaries, with revenue derived from government subsidies via ONE and voluntary tax-deductible donations (minimum €40 per attestation). The organization is governed by an Organe d'Administration presided over by Philippe Servais, with no private equity, venture capital, or individual ownership interests.
