Our mission
We believe that every human being has the right to live a dignified life and in full health. We work in contexts where poverty and social injustice are extreme. We deal with protection and promotion of fundamental rights, healthcare and assistance, social development and education, training and research.
We do not want to respond only to today's needs, but ensuring lasting change tomorrowWorld Friends works for the integral promotion of the person by contributing to the implementation of the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, focusing in particular on Article 25, the Right to Health. We see health not just as the absence of disease, but as the spark necessary for every person to flourish and every community to develop autonomously and sustainably. For us at World Friends, health is the key to development.
