New logo of the NGO Ascendances

We are pleased to present the new logo of our NGO Ascendances which perfectly reflects the values of our organization. 
The choice of the tree of life was obvious. It reflects the NGO's desire to participate in the construction of a fairer and more peaceful world, where everyone can flourish in the respect of their rights. 


The roots of this tree come in the colors of Africa and the Indian Ocean where the NGO Ascendances has its origins. Its trunk and its branches rise towards the sky. They come in blue or white, colors of peace and universalism. 


Thanks to your donations and support, our NGO can fight for human dignity and against all forms of discrimination. 

You too! Make a donation to support the NGO Ascendances!

 

We thank Christophe Mangematin for this outstanding work.
