Help us to take part in the 7th edition of the Europ'raid: a solidarity raid which bring school, medical and sports equipment to underprivileged schools in Eastern Europe.

From July 31 to August 21, 2021.

It all started during the first lockdown, few days has passed and the desire to get involved in a long-term solidarity project came to us. After a lot of research, we found the Europ'raid adventure which is the first raid in Europe exclusively composed of Peugeot 205 (the 5th most sold French car!). That's where it all started: we have begun to organize this year under our association "Les Raid'ators". Organization, planning, sharing of tasks and roles, charitable solicitation, partnerships, acquisition of the car, repairs of the car ... The year is very busy !

Each team is composed of 3 drivers, here is our team:

And of course we present you Big Berta AKA BB :

The raid gathers 377 teams in all, for more than 10 tons of material transported.

Why travel with so many cars? For the motivation of the project, the involvement during 1 year to prepare the trip, the media coverage and raise awareness about school inequalities in the outlying schools of Eastern Europe. As the trip is fully covered by the media, the impact is greater !

A sporting adventure

A crossing of 20 countries in 22 days with a Peugeot 205. A car with a minimum of comfort, but that we will know by heart to have pampered and restored it ourselves during this year. Approximately 450 km per day of travel, nights in bivouac and meals in community, it is 22 days of sharing and discovery.

A human adventure

The main goal of this raid, to transport the material gathered in schools to Eastern Europe. In only six years, the crews have transported more than 65 tons of school equipment to 20 schools in Eastern Europe. It is an action towards others, of sharing and meeting. Although it is often difficult to find the funds to send a container of solidarity aid, the concept of the event allows several tons of material to be transported each year, combining the useful with the pleasant. Although the needs are less in Europe than in other countries of the world, they remain significant in some countries such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria, where too many childrens still do not have access to school or in poor conditions, especially in small rural villages, far from the big cities.

A cultural adventure

20 countries, 12 capitals, 100 UNESCO world heritage sites and more than 200 stages, using the most beautiful roads in Europe. It is a unique journey of sharing with the local populations who welcome us every evening to mingle with their cultures.

We need your help!

You realize that such a project requires significant funding for us. Between the cost of the car, the registration and the travel, we are looking for sponsors and donors to help us carry the project! Even support and sharing will help us.

Souvenir

We would like to offer you in return for your donations some souvenirs of the adventure. We want you to travel with us! A postcard, a souvenir on the spot, photos ... But also a trace of our passage like a garment with our logo, or a bottle of wine that you will open with our friends and tell where it comes from ! In any case we hope to please you !

There, you know almost everything !

Don't hesitate to contact us by mail for more information or to have a look at our website which offers a lot of great features!
