What Sets us Apart
- Designed to last: our projects are sustainable because they strengthen the skills and knowledge of national education and health institutions, local NGOs, and the population;
- In-depth knowledge of the field: we do not send expatriates and our local teams are from the countries where we work;
- Collaboration: we co-develop all our projects with the beneficiaries we support so that they can ultimately become autonomous agents of their own change;
- Efficiency: pilot projects are tested and then rolled out on a larger scale once they have proven their impact;
- Leverage: by training key people in ministries and at the local level, we bring about lasting change in education and health practices;
- Expertise: a team of experienced specialists in public health and education sciences implements our unique pedagogical know-how.
- Quality: we set up projects designed to guarantee their impact and are recognized as trusted partners by international cooperation actors, donors, and local actors.

I especially like reading stories and learning to write. When I grow up, I would like to become a doctor so that I can heal other people.
