Art Angels for Africa

ArtAngelsForAfrica is committed in answering the Global Call to Action Against Poverty by promoting the “Arts as Moral Action”. We believe the Arts will play an important role in contributing to the commitment of the internationally agreed upon United Nations Millennium Development Goals, to halve global poverty by 2015.
To this extent, Art Angels for Africa’s goal is to facilitate the exposure of African Art by assisting indigenous artists with marketing, concept and design while highlighting the richness of African art and art-making, thus creating strong artistic links with the rest of the world and increased demand for African goods.

Mission
Action Against Hunger's mission is to save lives by combating hunger, malnutrition, physical suffering, and associated distress that endanger the lives of children, women, and men in emergency situations of war, conflict, and natural disaster. ACF's involvement typically begins with emergency relief in response to a crisis, but longer-term programs enabling victims to regain their autonomy and the means to live independently of external aid always reinforce relief. In carrying out our activities, all members of ACF's International Network adhere to a charter of principles that forms the foundation of our humanitarian commitment: free and direct access to victims, impartiality, independence, non-discrimination, professionalism, and transparency. In the short term, we address hunger and malnutrition by providing food and water in emergency situations. In the long term, we provide training in nutrition, food security, water and sanitation, and health care to ensure self-sufficiency, thus helping to rebuild communities. Action Against Hunger's Scientific, Committee pioneered the therapeutic milk formula (F100) that is now widely used by all relief organizations and has significantly decreased the global mortality rate of severely malnourished adults and children younger than five years old from 25% to ,5%, enabling them to lead healthy lives.
Action Against Hunger is directly at work in more than 40 countries on five continents with teams of fieldworkers consisting of nearly 400 specialists in the fields of nutrition, agriculture, water and sanitation, and public health. Action Against Hunger relies on the skills of its local teams of 6,000 people to develop programs that are well adapted to the needs of its beneficiaries.

SOS Children's Villages is active in 132 countries and territories worldwide. The variety of this international work is brought together by the umbrella organisation SOS-Kinderdorf International, which unites all of the autonomous national associations. In all countries where SOS Children's Villages operates, the aim is to form a national association, which is its own legal entity, with its own statutes and Board of Directors. Common for all of them is membership of the international umbrella association, and the fact that their Board of Directors work on an honorary basis. Each member association has to comply with the international statutes and principles for education and child-care of SOS-Kinderdorf International, and for financial and administrative practices. The national associations are registered and organised as a foundation, trust, association, non-profit company or society. As a full member of SOS-Kinderdorf International, they have the right to apply for funding through the umbrella association, and to request services from the General Secretariat. "Where we help".

per a pace : pour la paix

www.perapace.fr
E-mail: perapace@yahoo.fr

L’association Per a Pace est installée en Corse et plus particulièrement à Ajaccio. Elle existe depuis le début des années 1990, et s’investi notamment sur le bassin méditerranéen.
Les principes fondamentaux de l’association sont la paix, le respect des droits humains, la solidarité, le devoir de mémoire, les rencontres et les échanges qui s’inscrivent au cœur de son action.
L’exclusion, la haine, le racisme et la xénophobie s’installent de manière inquiétante dans toutes les sociétés. Aucun continent n’est aujourd’hui épargné par des conflits, des guerres, des génocides aux conséquences destructrices pour l’humanité et son environnement.
En ce début de troisième millénaire le règne de l’arbitraire et de l’injustice entraîne le tiers-monde et le quart-monde vers une situation de dénuement total où des millions d’enfants meurent de faim et de maladie.
L’association, « Pour la Paix – Per a Pace », est une association solidaire et pacifiste. Elle intervient dans de nombreux pays pour développer des actions de solidarité et des échanges culturels :
- Maroc, Burkina Faso, Algérie sur le continent africain.
- Macédoine, Albanie, Serbie Kosovo, Bosnie, péninsule des Balkans et Pologne en Europe.
Son objectif est de gagner les consciences pour la Paix, en s’adressant aux citoyens, aux instances internationales, aux dirigeants des nations, à tous ceux qui ont un pouvoir, fut-il petit, de tout mettre en œuvre pour faire en sorte que partout où naissent des conflits, des solutions négociées soient recherchées.
Plusieurs décennies après la seconde guerre mondiale, nous nous prononçons résolument pour la Paix, la Démocratie.

FINA TAWA

www.myspace.com/finatawa

Fina-Tawa means CULTURAL ROUTE in "foulfouldé", the language of Fulani.

Fina-Tawa is a non-profit association governed by the law 1901. It has been declared to the prefecture of Ajaccio-Corsica since the 26 March of 2004, (n° 02A1012887). It aims at the realization of projects of sustainable development in villages in Burkina Faso. Its priority is to work in the most underprivileged rural zones of Burkina, to make it possible for the villagers to reach a better standard of living in the respect of their cultural identity. It defends the will of indigenous people to decide on their own future and assist them to guarantee their basic rights. Through the creation of local associations and collaboration with already existing organizations, the needs, the quality standards and the objectives are defined in a joint way with the local population, thus the ancestral habits of work organization in-group are entirely respected. Fina-Tawa intervenes on these topics to sensitise the Western public opinion with the daily concerns of the Burkina villagers, and thus makes it possible for volunteers to take part in the various actions organized by the association.

When Fina-Tawa built the first well in 2005 in Warzame, a small Fulani village, villagers came from all around asking the association to come in their communities to do the same. After many discussions with our local correspondents and the council of the village (chiefs and village elders), the first need, which the villagers would like to have fulfilled, is access to drinking water and education.
