The UFE, founded in France in 1927, is a society recognized by public services; it is non-political and non-confessional. It is represented in 100 countries in the world with over 170 committees, which makes up a very unique network worldwide. Our goal is to welcome, support and animate the French and French speaking community in Bahrain. We are a resource for French-speaking people as well as for
organizations looking to reach out, for non political and non religious reasons, to this community. One of the UFE’s objectives is to create and maintain a direct contact between French nationals abroad and France; and to defend the moral and material interests of any French national living outside of France. In Bahrain, the UFE welcomes and helps new comers to integrate them into the local society. The association organizes regular events open to all and allowing everyone to share practical information, bring mutual assistance and enjoy the activities in a friendly way:
