engagement auprès des démunis


Explanation:
C'est une expréssion souvent utilisé dans ce sens de "outreach" (the act of reaching out). Voir aussi Wikipedia (ENG) pour la définition de 'outreach' ("Typically non-profits, civic groups, and churches engage in outreach.")

Example sentence(s):
  • "...C'est pourquoi l'engagement auprès des démunis, des jeunes en difficulté, des personnes âgées, des réfugiés est l'affaire d'associations qui..."
  • "...Son engagement auprès des démunis est son engagement politique en font un homme connu dans la région et apprécié sans considération de sa foi..."

soutien aux plus pauvres


Explanation:
Pour changer et parce que "assistance" m'évoque toujours quelque chose d'un peu paternaliste... quoi que "soutien" n'en est pas loin non plus.

intervention auprès des pauvres


Explanation:
Le terme intervention peut peut-être exprimer l'idée d'aller vers ou de rejoindre les populations pauvres, idée qui est évoquée par le terme «outreach» et qui est importante en développement international.
