An international solidarity association
 
dedicated to childhood in dispair   
 
Since it was created in 1991 in Monaco, Mission Enfance chose to be "a field operator" specialized in educational help and assistance to children in need.
   

Its action is supported by private donations and sponsors of the Principality, who are sensible to child despair. Placed under the Honorary Presidency of H.H the Sovereign Prince Albert II of Monaco, Mission Enfance benefits of the financial support of the Principality of Monaco, which contributes to the functional expenses of the association.


    Our status is filed in the Principality of Monaco and in France

 

 

 


Promote schooling of the children in need

Our goal is to create or strengthen the local school systems in order to make the schooling of children in difficult regions of the world effective. Education is a step towards peace and development. This action is part of the help required to fulfil the article #28 of the convention relative to the Child's Rights promulgated by the United Nations.

Specific educational programs on the field

Mission Enfance carries out directly on the field the programs conceived in coordination with local authorities. The association keeps all of the humanitarian help it offers under total control. The association disposes of local teams in each country it is directly active and carries out control missions of its financial participation, therebye securing the good use of the help to the donors. It coordinates its humanitarian action under the aegis of existing structures in the recipient countries. It only acts for the sole good of the children encountered. It exceptionally and punctually takes part in financing humanitarian operations of other NGOs.



   

Its experience allows Mission Enfance to integrate local know-how. The association recruits local teams and trains them for a common humanitarian goal. It also provides local counselling and training as soon as it is possible. The idea is to favour the durability of humanitarian action even after our retreat from the region.
