Our Values
Accompaniment and respect
We contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the populations by reinforcing the competences of our partners according to an approach by accompaniment in a process of change. This approach is based on a process of proactive reflection and action that respects cultures, traditions and individuals.
Equity
We contribute to a more just and equitable world in which women and men, groups and communities, can exercise their rights, maintain their dignity and realize their full potential. All interventions ensure that gender equality and human rights are promoted.
Innovation
We contribute to the development of new approaches, building on past learning, responding to today’s needs and anticipating future opportunities. Environmental protection and the emergence of a fulfilled youth are at the heart of our interventions.
Efficiency
We contribute to the achievement of results that are beneficial to local communities, sustainable and in line with the Foundation’s mission and the major international development objectives. The quality of our interventions and the optimization of our resources in order to achieve the best possible results for our beneficiaries are our priorities.
