PRESENTATION OF ASMAE – SISTER EMMANUELLE ASSOCIATION
Asmae – Association Sœur Emmanuelle is a French international solidarity NGO specializing in child development. Independent, secular and apolitical, it is open to all. Created in 1980 by Sister Emmanuelle on the basis of her experience with ragpickers in the slums of Cairo, Asmae continues its action while respecting the values and methods inherited from its founder: listening and proximity, pragmatism, taking into account differences, professionalism and reciprocity.
Asmae’s action aims to support vulnerable children and their families through tailor-made, long-term support from local actors working in the fields of education and child protection. Its vision “A just world which guarantees children to live and grow with dignity with their families and their environment to become free women and men, actors of society”, is broken down into four missions:
- Promote child development through a global approach. For this, Asmae also works to support families while taking the environment into account;
- Strengthen the capacity of local child development actors, strengthen synergies between them and maximize their social impact;
- Defend the cause of the child through awareness-raising and advocacy;
- Experiment, swarm and disseminate.
Today Asmae supports and accompanies 39 partner associations, with which it co-constructs, monitors and evaluates projects in the fields of education and child protection in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Lebanon, Madagascar and the Philippines.
