The creation of the WeeeFund Association in May 2017 by Cyprien Lefebvre and Théo Fayolle aims to make a more caring society. WeeeFund’s first challenge is to reduce electronic waste: 3,000,000 company computers in working order and less than 4 years old are destroyed each year in France in the recycling sector. The second challenge is to fight against digital exclusion: 17% of the French population is non-internet users, and 40% of the socially disadvantaged have digital difficulties.
Their mission is to create partnerships with local authorities and businesses to equip and support beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are people who are far from employment, residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods, people with disabilities, first-time arrivals, people undergoing social reintegration, and people in precarious social situations.
Clipperton’s donation in 2023 resulted in 63 hours of digital training given to job seekers.
