Scots Kirk Lausanne
The Scots Kirk in Lausanne helped launch Espoir Jeunes in 2007. The Church incorporated Espoir Jeunes into its 5 year charity program and helped structure the community in its early days, funding children’s studies and housing. Isaac, Michel, Francis and Albert, Espoir Jeunes’ first high school graduates and University students, were among the first to profit from the church’s help. The Scots Kirk program ended in 2012, as per Church rules.
