For over 40 years, Action Education (formerly Aide et Action), an international association for development through education, has ensured access to quality education for the most vulnerable and marginalized populations, particularly children, girls and women, so that everyone can control their own development and contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Because access to quality education helps combat poverty and disease, limit climate change and build peace in a sustainable world, we promote lifelong learning. We therefore pay particular attention to early childhood education and protection, access to and quality of education at the primary and secondary levels, as well as vocational training and social inclusion.
By basing our intervention on the values of dignity, inclusion and integrity, as well as on the principles of action of transparency, accountability and solidarity, and thanks to the support of our 50,000 donors, we carry out 85 projects in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe – including France – for more than 1.4 million children, young people and adults.
In Europe, Action Education works in particular with the most marginalized and vulnerable populations. The association is particularly involved in the schooling and retention in school of children in precarious housing (squats, shanty towns, etc.) and supports education professionals to improve the reception of families and the quality of educational facilities.
Education changes the world, change it with us!
