Project presentation

 

The association Enfants et Développement (renamed Planète Enfants & Développement in 2016) supports the Nepalese NGO Voice of Children (VOC) in providing social support to migrant women in the Kathmandu Valley.

Individualised assistance, supported by in-depth interviews, is offered to each beneficiary identified by VOC’s social workers. This approach helps determine the most suitable support according to each woman’s situation (referral to literacy courses, vocational training, workshops raising awareness of women’s rights, etc.). This personalised intervention method was developed by Enfants et Développement, which supports VOC in implementing it at the local level.

The association

Planète Enfants & Développement’s mission is to take a holistic approach to supporting vulnerable children by providing them with the conditions needed for their well-being and development through protection, health, education, integration and family support services; by strengthening their independence and the capacities of local stakeholders; and by denouncing and fighting all forms of discrimination and exploitation against children, particularly child trafficking.

Enfants & Développement and Planète Enfants, two organisations sharing the same values and vision, officially merged on 21 September 2016 to become Planète Enfants & Développement. Their common goal: to increase their impact in protecting and supporting children’s development.
