Together for a lasting change
When we speak of people suffering from hunger, children who don’t go to school, women who are only allowed to obey, populations decimated by disease, we’re not speaking about tragic accidents. We are speaking about denied rights, injustice and the precise responsibilities of governments and multinationals.
That is why we think that poverty can be defeated. We have been working alongside communities in the Southern hemisphere for over 50 years, acting together on the causes that have led to their situation.
However, at the same time, we make a commitment, so that more and more people take our side, so that governments keep their promises, so that companies adopt ethical behaviour that respects the dignity and rights of everyone, no one excluded.
- We have sent over 500 thousands children to school;
- We have guaranteed food to 650 thousands people who were suffering from hunger;
- In Sierra Leone and Liberia, we have rescued 583 thousands people affected by the Ebola epidemic;
- In Nepal, we have supported 100 thousands earthquake victims by providing food, hygiene kits and temporary shelters;
- In the Philippines, we have helped over 400 thousands people affected by Cyclone Hayan;
- We have reached 1,7 million people in a state of emergency.
