An international solidarity movement unlike any other! This is made up of the thousands of men and women whose work is motivated by the simple sentences: 'serve first those who suffer most' and 'fight against the causes of poverty'. This founding principle of the movement is developed by the groups depending on the country and the context.
A founding principle: Thanapara Swallows in Bangladesh Serve first those who suffer most, whoever they are, without distinction.
A common goal: Locally, setting up financial activities with the most marginalised in society to work for access to fundamental rights for all. Together, showing through collective action that there are international alternatives to situations of injustice.
Present on 4 continents: The movement is made up of the 317 member associations in 36 countries

A variety of activities: Rubbish collection and recycling, farming and livestock rearing, literacy projects, defence of human rights, training, housing, environmental protection, healthcare projects... |
