Our areas of intervention
PADEM attaches particular importance to the issues of inclusion of people with disabilities.
In addition to projects specifically aimed at including and promoting the place of people with disabilities within their societies (Sri Lanka, Senegal, Mongolia, Kosovo, etc.), this theme is also a cross-cutting issue for all international projects of PADEM, with the desire to be able to involve people with disabilities in all project activities.

In the current context, the issue of adaptation to climate change has a strong resonance in PADEM’s international projects.
The idea behind these words is to support populations in adapting their agricultural methods (Bolivia, etc.), their access to sustainable energy (Senegal, etc.), limiting the risks linked to natural disasters (Kenya, Senegal, etc.).

Access to education and professional training is a central theme when we are interested in improving the living conditions of children.
Through its projects, PADEM promotes children’s access to informative and inclusive education as well as quality professional training, whether provided through school and formal environments (Kosovo, Senegal, etc.), or through non-formal education (India, Senegal, etc.).

Because it would not make sense to focus on improving the living conditions of children and their families without first thinking about filling their plates, PADEM works through its projects to improve nutrition and feeding the most vulnerable children.
These actions take place directly within their families (Bolivia, Peru, etc.) or in reception centers or schools (Madagascar, Kenya, etc.)

Children’s rights are often difficult to respect in developing countries. Acts of domestic violence (Bolivia, Peru, etc.) or female genital mutilation (Senegal, Kenya, etc.) are examples among others on which PADEM projects work to ensure respect for this central branch of human rights that are children rights.

Many diseases are due to poor access or lack of access to water. In certain regions, access to care and health services is also an issue that poses significant problems on a daily basis.
PADEM promotes improved access to water by proposing the construction of more efficient equipment located closer to populations (Bolivia, Senegal, etc.). The same goes for access to health with the desire to offer health services ever closer and adapted to the needs of the populations concerned (Mongolia, Senegal, etc.).

The issue of access to safe and dignified housing is a major one within PADEM’s activities.
International projects work for the construction, renovation, equipment and insulation of homes according to the needs encountered by the communities concerned by the projects (Kenya, Mongolia, etc.)

Economic development is a cross-cutting theme in PADEM’s projects. Supporting parents in their economic development helps to improve the living conditions of their children.
PADEM projects strive to include training activities, the creation of working capital and income-generating activities, with the aim of enabling families to take charge of improving their personal living conditions from a financial point of view, initially through support and then increasingly on their own.

Our beneficiaries
The primary beneficiaries of PADEM projects are children and their families. More broadly, all vulnerable people are included in our projects. By targeting the most vulnerable people, PADEM ensures that its activities have an impact and are sustainable, meeting the basic needs of all communities. The sustainability of our projects is taken into account right from the outset, enabling activities to continue after the projects have ended, thereby avoiding dependency and promoting the empowerment of beneficiaries.
