Asmae – Emmanuelle sister association is an international solidarity NGO specializing in child development. Independent, secular and apolitical, it is open to all. Its actions aim to support children and their families and promote their autonomy, through access to education and protection. Created by Sister Emmanuelle in 1980, Asmae continues its action while respecting the values of trust, listening and reciprocity inherited from its founder.
Present in 6 countries (Madagascar, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Lebanon, Philippines, France) on 3 continents, Asmae allows more than 50,000 people to “live upright”.
Because we are convinced that the solutions come from the populations themselves, we act in partnership with local associations to bring out initiatives and support them. We promote skills and help to strengthen them by training professionals on site in the fields of education and protection. We help structures to improve the way they operate and strengthen themselves. This is how, together, we manage to give maximum scale and effectiveness to local actions, for the benefit of children, their families and their communities.
THE “YALLA!” PROJECT For the rights of the child »
“Yalla!” For the Rights of the Child” is an education project for citizenship and international solidarity, which aims to raise awareness of children’s rights, so that they are better respected and applied. The objective? Give children and young people the keys to knowing and understanding their rights, becoming aware of the inequalities in the application of these rights in the world, and becoming actors in solidarity action.
In addition, since 2022, we have been offering workshops on the theme of girl-boy equality, as well as prevention and awareness workshops on harassment and cyberharassment.
Since its creation in 2014, the project has made it possible to meet more than 40,000 students from kindergarten to high school, in 230 partner schools.
According to a participatory pedagogy, our fun and interactive tools aim to encourage speaking out, discussions, to get students moving, and to develop their desire to act for a fairer world.
The project is now in the expansion phase: we want to increase the number of partner educational establishments, and reach a wider and more diverse audience in more territories.
