Vision
Help the Helpers. Because to stop poverty, it is not enough to grant material support but to teach the persons in need to become autonomous. Sustainable development is about dialog and exchange between donors and beneficiaries who should be actively involved in the project and made co-responsible of its success with dignity, respect and mutual enrichment.
Activity
Long term social rehabilitation of 1000 street children (home, food and education) of OSEPER, founded by Father Guido Matarrese; purchase of engine for the agriculture project at the Batéké Plateau (30 ha), the training of 80 young people. Agriculture is now profitable -Oseper covers its functioning costs- and fights against rural exodus, creates jobs and allows food self-sufficiency and dignity.
