Adapting to funding cuts
2025 saw the sharpest decline in official development assistance ever recorded. Enfants du Monde responded by undertaking a far-reaching restructuring, while continuing to improve access to education and healthcare for more than 2.6 million children, young people and women across Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Providing vulnerable children with a quality education requires well-trained teachers, appropriate learning materials and robust education systems. In Africa and Latin America, we work at every level of the education system – from ministries to classrooms – and achieve tangible improvements in pupils’ learning outcomes.
In conflict and crisis settings, such as Burkina Faso and Chad, we enable displaced and refugee children and young people to continue their education in a safe and protective environment. In Niger and Chad, we also provide out-of-school young people and women who have never had the opportunity to attend school with a curriculum focused on acquiring basic knowledge and practical skills that can help them generate an income, empowering them to build their own future.
Health: the foundation of all development
In response to the growing effects of climate change, we train healthcare professionals, renovate infrastructure and raise awareness within communities in Bangladesh and Nepal, helping to better protect women, newborns and adolescents from the consequences of dwindling access to safe drinking water and extreme heat.
Maternal and child health also remains at the heart of our work. In Burkina Faso, Madagascar and Chad, our efforts to train healthcare workers and involve families help make childbirth safer, prevent developmental delays in young children and ensure that children who have never received a vaccine can be reached and immunised.
We also work to promote the sexual and reproductive health of young people in Tanzania and Nepal.
An organisation evolving to strengthen its impact
In 2025, Enfants du Monde continued its organisational development to better respond to changes in international cooperation. This included refocusing its project portfolio on Africa and on the three interconnected priorities of education, vocational training and access to employment; introducing new management tools; strengthening monitoring and evaluation; and professionalising its fundraising activities. The creation of a Strategic Investment Fund also enables us to continue innovating and preparing for the future.
None of these achievements would have been possible without the commitment of our partners, donors, volunteers, foundations, companies and institutional funding partners. Thank you all for your trust and for standing alongside us.
