Container Programme
In its efforts to organise the sharing of resources within the movement, the Emmaus movement has set up a container-sharing scheme.
In this way, the European Emmaus organisations share material resources with those in Africa and Latin America so that they can acquire equipment, organise second-hand sales and help other local stakeholders. Members of each of the groups then have an opportunity to meet each other to load and unload a container. Sending and receiving organisations are encouraged to visit each other so they can get to know each other and share the importance of this form of solidarity. Emmaus International coordinates this programme and finances some of the container shipping fees.
