Universal Food Fund
"Let's be Ambassadors of Kindness!"
We suggest that food collection days be organized, like the Food Bank's food collections. These collections will take place every first Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning (some supermarkets are open on Sunday morning) of the month - throughout the year, except in August - and will be organized by elected officials and other volunteer citizens. In each city where there are one or more supermarkets, citizens will be asked to collect foodstuffs at the entrance to supermarkets. This aims to help associations helping the most deprived.
This operation will be launched initially in France, and then extended to other countries around the world.
The collection of funds will be used to finance the operation of the Universal Food Fund in terms of logistics and employees.
The Association "The Universal Food Fund"
The Association "Le Fonds Alimentaire Universel" (Universal Food Fund) was created in Montpellier on September 4, 2023.
Its founders are Abdellah AJNAH (President) and Diana BOUAYAD AMINE (Secretary).

Organization of the Association
The Association is organized as follows:
- In national sections representing the Association in various countries around the world.
- Each national section can organize itself into regional sections.
- The regional sections are organized into local, village, neighborhood, business and city committees, which decide on their operating methods and which are attached to their regional section.
- In Ambassador Clubs which have the title of Ambassadors of Kindness.
- The statutes of all these structures must mention that they are attached to the Association created by the two founding members and declared in Montpellier (Hérault Prefecture).
- The office of the Association created by the two founding members and declared in Montpellier (Hérault Prefecture) decides on the creation of national sections. The national sections decide on the creation of regional sections. Regional sections are created by citizen initiatives, provided they are created through the official website of the Association in each country and/or after agreement from the president of the national section.
- Each regional section is headed by a president.
- The office of the Association may dissolve a national section, a regional section or a local section, if it judges that it does not meet the conditions and goals laid down by the statutes of the Association.

A financial control committee will be formed. Will be part of it:
- One representative per parliamentary political group in the French Parliament (National Assembly and Senate).
- A representative of the office of the National Assembly and a representative of the office of the Senate.
- Representatives of food aid associations in France.

Ambassadors of Kindness
"Ambassador of Kindness" is a title that binds and it is not an honorary title, unlike that of "Ambassador of Goodwill" which is a generic term sometimes used as a replacement honorary title or as a title of honor. 'honor. The Goodwill Ambassador is a person lending his reputation and name for a cause or an ideal free of charge, while the Goodwill Ambassador is not necessarily a well-known personality. Indeed, the title "Ambassador of Kindness" can be awarded to a simple citizen.
A Kindness Ambassador does not receive a salary or even a symbolic euro.
Our organization "The Universal Food Fund" is a non-governmental, non-profit organization. She will use Kindness Ambassadors to promote her programs and actions.
Kindness Ambassadors will be able to work with citizens on an international scale, but also in their restricted circles, such as their families, and with their friends. Children (schoolchildren, middle schoolers, high school students) will be able to have the title of Ambassador of Kindness. They will be able to act in their class with other students.
Elected officials may also be appointed Ambassadors of Kindness to act among their constituents.
Universal Food Fund Kindness Ambassadors clubs will be created. In each country, the Kindness Ambassadors Club will be chaired by a personality.
The title "Ambassador of Kindness" was proposed for the first time in the world by Abdellah AJNAH and Diana BOUAYAD AMINE.
Patrons club
We are going to form a Club of patrons comprising physical and moral personalities (companies, businessmen, artists, etc.) who we will ask to dedicate a greeting card for humanity and solidarity. We will ask these personalities to contribute financially to the Universal Food Fund.
