What makes us different
- Designed to last: our projects are sustainable because they strengthen the skills and knowledge of national education and health institutions, local NGOs and the local population;
- In-depth knowledge of the field: we don’t send expatriates, and our local teams are natives of the countries where we work;
- Collaboration: we co-construct all our projects with the beneficiaries we support, so that they can ultimately become the 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 local level, we transform educational and health practices in a sustainable way;
- Expertise: a team of experienced specialists in public health and education sciences applies our unique pedagogical know-how;
- Quality: our projects are designed to guarantee their impact, and we are recognized as trusted partners by international cooperation agencies, donors and local players.
