Our mission is to develop and support people in need, in particular children and women in poor countries like Nepal and people in India living below poverty line. We develop our project strategies on our own together with local partners. In India e.g. we set in place a comprehensive, focused and tailored program in order to transform the society. The strategy is focused on children and women. For children we offer child emergency services, child care services and Skill Development and a Women empowerment program including Skill Development. This unique strategy perfectly fits together and will have a significant impact on the people in this area. We have a clear view on what is achievable and we only start programs with a high probability of success. Less is more is one of our principle. We do not want to run projects which are too big and only a few ones. Our aim is to run all projects as long-term projects, i.e. at least 25+ years.

Founded in 1989 as a non-profit, international service organization with a deep belief in the power of human rights learning for economic and social transformation. We have worked directly and indirectly with our network of affiliates and partners in over 60 countries around the world to develop and advance the learning about human rights as way of life, enabling women and men to re-imagine their lives and discover their own power to define the destiny of their community. Participating in the planning of their future, the human rights framework provides them with the guideline to pursue their hopes. We are being constantly revitalized by actions being taken in the community to create a space for a meaningful change as a result of internalizing the praxis of human rights.

Programs are planned by, for, and with communities to: - Catalyze and enhance mentoring and monitoring; - Promote gender equality; - Enhance local human and social development programs; - Take actions to overcome discrimination; - Strengthen citizens' equal and informed participation in the decision-making process - Enable people to become agents of change
