Each year, as the festive season approaches, Emmaus Pahou fully engages in significant charitable initiatives. During this festive season, the organization orchestrated a large meal distribution in the Zongo neighborhood, offering more than 130 people, especially children in situations of extreme precarity, the opportunity to enjoy a full meal and a refreshing drink.

In parallel, a Christmas meal was organized in the Pahou community, bringing together the companions, as well as their families and some village residents. This celebration was followed by a generous distribution of gifts for the children.

These activities are made possible thanks to the proceeds generated by the end-of-year sales organized by Emmaus Pahou's Bric-à-Brac. Two successful sale weekends, on the 1617th and 29-30th, thus contributed to financing these solidarity initiatives, highlighting the effectiveness of these charitable efforts.

Furthermore, Emmaus Pahou had the honor of being invited to the Christmas show organized by Saint Helena School of Castors. This event was an opportunity for the students to showcase their artistic talents through dance, singing, sketches, and poetry. The students also enjoyed a festive meal and received a visit from Santa Claus.

These actions demonstrate Emmaus Pahou's deep and ongoing commitment to providing comfort and joy to those most in need during the holiday period, thus embodying the spirit of solidarity and mutual aid that characterizes the organization.
