AFM Painting

What AFM Painting does

AFM Genève (Association des Familles Monoparentales Genève) is a Geneva-based non-profit association, founded in 1977 and recognized as an association d'utilité publique (public utility) under Swiss law. It exclusively serves single-parent families (mothers, fathers, and children) residing in the Canton of Geneva through a membership-based model that bundles legal, coaching, social, and community services into one access point. The organization is staffed by a small team of fewer than 10 individuals, including a family-law attorney (Andres Martinez) who provides subsidized consultations at CHF 40 per session, a systemic NLP coach (Annick Pochet) delivering up to five at-home parental coaching sessions per year, a director (Gladys Corredor), a secretary, and an intern, with operations governed by a volunteer committee led by President Jean Blanchard.

The service portfolio spans four pillars: legal assistance (consultations and CHF 600 separation agreements), parental coaching (in-home), social aid (emergency food, children's clothing up to five items and one pair of shoes per child per visit, and financial assistance for glasses, dental, camps, sports, and cultural activities), and a year-round member activities program (workshops, outings, cinema, theater, holiday celebrations). Distribution is exclusively through a single physical office at Avenue Henri-Golay 21 in Geneva, open Monday–Wednesday by appointment, supplemented by an online registration portal for memberships and event sign-ups.

The revenue model combines three streams: recurring annual membership dues from beneficiary families, donations from individuals (tax-deductible from CHF 300), and institutional grants from the Canton of Geneva, Ville de Genève, 15+ Geneva municipalities, Fondation Barbour, and Loterie Romande. The organization has no app, no proprietary technology platform, and operates through a standard WordPress website. It is governed independently with no parent company or venture capital involvement.
