Overview :

Asmae is a French international solidarity NGO specialized in child development. Independent, non-religious and non-political, it is open to everyone.
Created in 1980 by Sister Emmanuelle following her experience with scavengers in Egypt’s slums, Asmae keeps on respecting its founder’s values and methods: listening and proximity, pragmatism, respect of the differences, professionalism and reciprocity.

Nowadays Asmae supports education and protection projects through 46 local organizations in Burkina-Faso, Egypt, France, India, Lebanon, Madagascar, Mali and Philippines. Furthermore, in France, Asmae also directly manages a mother and child care center.

Asmae has been working in the Philippines since 1989. It has supported programs on prevention of school drop-out and underperformance, prevention and care of children at risk, adolescence support and support to children with disabilities. Asmae currently partners with local organizations in two areas: Luzon (mainly Metro Manila) and the Visayas (Negros Occidental and Bohol).

A study was conducted on street families in Manila in 2013/2014. Based on this study, Asmae and its partners designed a program to improve the living conditions of the street children and families.
