This momentum led to the creation of Réunisaf in 2001—an organization recognized by the Ministry of Health (receiving the “Bien Traitance” award) and honored by the Academy of Medicine—for the support it provides to these women, who are isolated in their suffering and have sought refuge in alcoholism.
◊ SAF Océan Indien is a new association comprising 60 volunteers from Réunion—healthcare and social service professionals—who, alongside the 12 members of the Board of Directors, share an understanding of the challenges faced by families with a child disabled by the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (often resulting from a lack of awareness regarding the risks or difficulties in managing addiction).
The association’s mission is to facilitate information, training, research, prevention, care, and support services in the Indian Ocean region regarding the full spectrum of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
National and regional health authorities, local authorities, and professionals in the medico-social, cultural, educational, and justice sectors—as well as all other institutions, associations, groups, and unions working on this issue—aim to:
The individuals who founded the association—the majority of whom have been working for over a decade to reduce the risk of children being born with FAS—are active members.
Those who have rendered services to the association and foreign corresponding members—prominent figures who contribute to the development of FASD prevention in their respective countries.
These are the individuals or entities that provide financial support to the association in accordance with the terms set out in the internal regulations.
The resulting Board of Directors is composed of members representing prevention stakeholders, user representatives, and empathetic members.
The association’s objective is to facilitate information, training, research, care, support, and prevention regarding the full spectrum of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in the Indian Ocean region.
