About us
Association Jean-Stéphane Grasset (Association JSG) was set up in the name of Jean-Stéphane Grasset (1965-2009), who fell in love with Mauritius while working as the managing director in the hotel industry there for several years. The charity was created to pursue his passions and projects to protect, nurture and support impoverished children and women in southern Mauritius.
​
Association JSG has been successfully running projects in Mauritius for over 13 years.
