Visa 94

Association Visa 94 is a French nonprofit organization whose CAARUD service works to reduce the health and social risks associated with drug use. Based in Champigny-sur-Marne, it supports people who use drugs through practical harm-reduction services, outreach and welcoming spaces. Its work includes street outreach, a mobile harm-reduction team in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, drug checking and the provision of equipment.

The association also offers a collective drop-in service and dedicated welcome times for minors and young people under 25. A women-only session is available on Thursday afternoons, and appointments can be arranged by contacting the team. The centre accepts visitors’ animals.

Visa 94’s activities also include ethical reflection and cooperation with partner organizations, including GAIA, as well as involvement in local mental health initiatives. It shares information about events and community activities, including film discussions. The centre is open Monday to Friday, with specific hours for its collective welcome service and youth sessions.

Its approach combines accessible support with risk reduction for people in its community
