Fondation OVE is a nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector in France, based in Vaulx-en-Velin, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and it is recognized for public utility. Founded in 1945 under Yves Farge as the Oeuvre des villages d'enfants, it began by caring for war-affected children and maintains a core commitment to preventing exclusion. Over time, it developed a broad network of social and medico-social facilities and services for people with disabilities or facing significant difficulties, including adults, adolescents, and children. By 2019 the foundation operated more than 100 establishments and services across France, including respite and emergency reception, and it also supports other associations in managing their own facilities.
