We desire a better, more equitable and supportive world than what we see every day. We try to contribute to its construction through the respect and promotion of the rights of the communities with which we work, with a view to dignity, exchange and reciprocity. We believe in the awareness, in the capacity of everyone, to look at the world with new eyes to learn that respect for people and the environment, in a strongly linked North and South, is basically nothing but self-respect.We work with individuals, social forces, governments and local administrations, so that it is possible to take care of the present and the future, building a culture of autonomy and cooperation that reinforces the independence and freedom of communities.
