Jean and Paulette, retired for more than ten years, will finally be able to change their defective and now dangerous wood-fuelled boiler. The first rough winter time month they've just spent highlights the emergency of this renovation in their house in Oraison, in the Alpes de Haute Provence.

Thanks to the social microcredit package implemented by the Foundation's PACA regional Agency, the couple will benefit from a loan of 1600 Euros over 31 months with a rate of 4% to partly finance the purchase of a new oil-fuelled boiler.

The local Pact Arim which accompanies this household, the Anah and the Social Security will also offer financial aid to secure the needed budget for the new installation.

Work will require a few weeks.
