At SOAL, passion doesn’t stop at the company’s doors. Cristelle, a specialized technician in equine nutrition, and Laura, a poultry and waterfowl nutrition technician, met in our teams. Driven by a deep desire to help others, they together founded the Land’Intrépides association, which works both in France and internationally to support humanitarian and solidarity causes. “We want to provide concrete help, whether financial or physical, to those in need”, they explain with conviction.
A humanitarian rally in Sri Lanka
The next challenge for the two collaborators is as bold as it is inspiring: in May 2026, they will participate in a humanitarian rally in Sri Lanka… in a tuk-tuk! For ten days, they will travel across the country to support two local associations, MARDAP and Green Life Generation. “It’s a way to link humanitarian action with adventure and discovery”, highlights Cristelle. This international project perfectly illustrates their desire to combine solidarity, commitment, and self-surpassing.
A strong local commitment
While their horizon opens internationally, Cristelle and Laura also intend to act close to home. Their association partnered with Amazones Re-Belles, based in Mont-de-Marsan, which supports women affected by breast cancer. Half of the donations collected for the rally will be donated to this cause. “It is a cause that is particularly close to our hearts”, notes Laura. On October 5th, as part of Pink October, they will participate in their first major event in Saint-Pierre-du-Mont: a solidarity walk, prevention and well-being stands, and also original activities like baptisms in American cars with the Les Bootleggers association.
How to support them
Land’Intrépides thrives on the generosity of those who believe in their projects. Donations, whether from individuals or businesses, are essential for financing their actions and entitle donors to a tax receipt. But there are many other ways to give them a hand: participate in events, share their adventure on social networks, or simply talk about them with others. “Donations are essential for us, but your moral support and presence at our side are just as valuable,” they conclude with enthusiasm.
