Our commitment in Italy and throughout the world aims to
guarantee the well-being of children by guarantee in their
rights and needs.
Over the past few years we went from a consolidation of our work in the education
sector and in supporting children and vulnerable families to a more integrated
approach. This comes from the understanding that increasing the well-being of
the communities and target groups of our work (especially children, women and
vulnerable families) requires a multidimensional approach. The well-being of
children in fact is as much the result of direct actions taken for them, such as
support to education, as of the work done to improve living conditions and access
to rights and opportunities for their families and communities.
Depending on the context of intervention, our work also includes support
of business activities with the goal of economic and social empowerment;
the promotion and protection of rights; activities for improving or building
infrastructures such as schools, wells, irrigation systems, healthcare centers;
attention to food security and nutrition for children and their communities;
promotion and strengthening of rural farmers’ associations; addressing climate
change through mitigation measures; education for peace and active citizenship.
The long-term presence of Helpcode in the areas where we work has allowed for
implementing this integrated approach in full coordination and collaboration
with local institutions and partners, aligning the works done with the analysis
of needs of the target groups and strategic priorities of local institutions, also
contributing to reinforcement of the latter’s skills.
