SIRIRI Projects
Our activities
Missions
Promoting development of those “who have been forgotten by donors”, i.e. poor countries somewhere outside the interest expressed by other humanitarian organisations and official support; promoting those who, however, aren’t able to get by without support “from the outside”; informing and educating to some reflexion in favour of development; raising awareness of our shared responsibility for the situation in Africa.
Goals
To perform sustainable-development projects in the Central African Republic (CAR) in cooperation with a local and respectable partner-establishment; The basic objective of all SIRIRI projects is to accompany CAR inhabitants in gaining their autonomy with respect to external assistance – “help them stand on their own feet“. SIRIRI tries hard to support the CAR’s natural and human potential.
How you can help?
SIRIRI has been helping the Central African Republic since 2006 and in fact, every single intervention depends on your support. Help us to help!

Pavel Fischer
Member of SIRIRI Board of Directors, a former diplomat (2003-2013), ex-director of STEM institute
I discovered SIRIRI when I was a Czech ambassador in France. We thought together with the organisers of a particular campaign on collecting used eyeglasses how to quickly forward boxes filled with cleaned and sorted-out eyeglasses to their users in need. France, as a country being traditionally intensively bound to the Central African Republic, presented itself as an appropriate supporting base for that.

I have a lot of good reason to work with the NGO SIRIRI. First of all, their capacity to understand the context in which they work, that comes from a deap knowledge of local environnement. Their capacity to understand when to act. The tact. The precision. The different kind of fields in which SIRIRI intervenes…SIRIRI’s members are able to answer to local needs. We all are rewarded by what is the biggest wealth in this central African country and by the most precious thing in the world : the smiles.

Helping people in the least developed countries is a duty of the richest countries. More than 20 years after the velvet revolution, it’s necessary to become aware of the fact that the Czech Republic belongs to the richest part of the planet. I’m grateful to all those who are conscious of that. I’m happy for establishments and institutions doing their best to contribute as efficiently as possible in supporting poor countries’ development. SIRIRI acting in the Central African Republic is resolutely part of such bodies.
SIRIRI Team
Approximately twenty people take part in activities of our public-beneficial establishment SIRIRI. The majority of them are volunteers compared to the number of employees which is equivalent to 2.5 of full-time jobs. Some members of the team have been taking care of coordinating special spheres of activity for a long time. The others take part in different activities and invest their work and energy to perform different topical actions and projects.
