"They didn’t choose to be abused."

MAKE THE CHOICE TO HELP THEM REBUILD THEIR LIVES !

Let’s all take action together by reaching out to children who are victims of abuse and suffer in silence, and offer them,

within the European Union, a future filled with hope.

About our association

Why do we exist, and who do we serve?

There are invisible wounds that never truly heal. Children’s eyes that lost their sparkle too soon. Hearts scarred by violence, abandonment, and fear.

The non-profit organization “Dessine-moi un sourire” was created for them — for those children whose innocence was shattered under the weight of abuse. Our association is young, but we have been aware of the scale of this issue for many years. We have spent a long time thinking, working, and imagining how to help them.

Today, we are here, ready to take action. But we need you.

Ending their isolation, reigniting hope

Some of these children, often removed from their families by order of a juvenile judge, are placed in specialized care facilities (SRG).

These youth welfare facilities in Belgium provide care and education for young people who need support outside their family environment. Far from everything familiar, they navigate a world where they feel alone, forgotten, and broken. They need hope. They need to feel that they matter.

From suffering to hope: a promise of renewal

“Dessine-moi un sourire” was not born by chance. It is the result of a deeply moving personal story. One of its founders, now 53 years old, was himself a victim of sexual abuse during his childhood.

He speaks with emotion about how, even decades later, those wounds remain etched deep within the soul.

He knows what it feels like to be that broken child. He knows how much a simple gesture, an outstretched hand, a spark of joy can change everything. That’s why we created this association: to offer these children the support he never had the chance to receive.

Giving them more than shelter: creating joyful memories

These children don’t just need a roof over their heads and food to eat. They need to rebuild themselves, to believe once again in the beauty of the world, to feel loved and safe.

That’s why we offer them moments that restore meaning to their childhood:
A movie to dream and escape for a few hours. An amusement park to laugh and be amazed. A show, a sports match, a concert — to feel strong, positive emotions. A birthday surrounded by friends, where for once, they are the center of attention — not as victims, but as happy children.
Ocean therapy retreats, far from trauma, where they can breathe, heal, and simply be children.

These moments are not luxuries. They are necessities. They are not just a break — they are a first step toward healing.


Be there for them — today, they need you!

Our hearts are full of dreams, our plans are concrete, and our determination is unwavering… but our resources are limited. European institutions, companies, individuals, donors, patrons — every gesture matters. Every grant, every donation is one more step toward a childhood that’s a little less broken. Our fight cannot exist without you. We refuse to look the other way. We refuse to accept that these children should face their pain alone. 

Help us give them what they so deeply deserve: a childhood, a smile, a future. On behalf of each of these children, we extend our heartfelt thanks.
