Source text - French Qui sommes nous ?
En Bref
Fondée en 1991, l’association apolitique et non confessionnelle Enfants d'Asie vient en aide aux orphelins et enfants en situation de détresse en Asie du Sud-Est. Elle intervient dans une cinquantaine de centres (villages d’enfants, écoles, foyers, orphelinats) au Cambodge, au Laos, aux Philippines et au Vietnam.
L’association assure les besoins essentiels des enfants les plus défavorisés (nutrition, hébergement, suivi médical et prévention, soutien affectif) tout en les aidant à construire leur avenir : scolarisation, formation professionnelle, bourses d’étudiants, cours d’informatique, enseignement du français et de l’anglais, microcrédits…
Aujourd’hui, grâce aux parrainages et aux dons, l’association vient en aide à près de 10.000 enfants à travers un ensemble de programmes qui garantissent une prise en charge globale des populations les plus fragiles.
Notre fonctionnement :
Le conseil d'administration définit les actions de l'association. Le secrétaire général fait suivre toutes ces actions.
Au siège de Paris, une trentaine de bénévoles et cinq salariés assurent le fonctionnement administratif de l'association, en liaison avec les correspondants régionaux et les responsables pays.
Le journal trimestriel "Correspondances" donne des informations détaillées sur les centres et la vie des enfants, les dernières missions et les projets en cours.
Chaque année, l'assemblée générale approuve les comptes de l'exercice et les propositions d'action.
Des cabinets d'experts comptables certifient les comptes en France (Cabinet SFEC) et au Cambodge (Cabinet KAK).
Notre philosophie
Dans les quatre pays où elle est présente, ENFANTS D’ASIE agit en collaboration avec des acteurs locaux. Elle soutient, coordonne et évalue l’impact de ses programmes élaborés et développés par et pour la population locale.
Cette approche garantit une bonne appréhension des besoins du pays et contribue à son développement par la formation et la responsabilisation des partenaires locaux.
La présence de coordinateurs d’ENFANTS D’ASIE sur le terrain et les missions régulières des administrateurs dans les pays permettent un suivi et un contrôle de qualité des moyens déployés.
Translation - English About us:
In Summary
Founded in 1991, Enfants d’Asie (Children of Asia), a non-partisan organization without religious affiliation, cares for orphans and children in distress in Asia and the Southeast. The organization intervenes in fifty centers (children villages, schools, homes and orphanages) in Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines and Vietnam.
The organization ensures the essential needs (nutrition, lodging, medical care and prevention, physical affection) of underprivileged children in order to allow them to construct a better future; we provide schooling, professional education, educational grants, technical classes, French and English lessons, micro-financing, and other vital services.
Today, thanks to sponsors and donors, the organization aids nearly 10,000 children through a group of programs, ensuring overall care for the world’s most fragile citizens.
How we are structured:
Our administrative committee defines the activities of the organization. The general secretary follows up on all activities
The Paris headquarters (50 employees and 30 volunteers) in tandem with regional correspondents and country directors, carry out the daily administration of the organization.
Our quartely newletter, « Correspondances » gives detailed information on Enfants d’Asie centers, their latest missions and projects, and the daily life of sponsored children.
The general assembly approves expenses and program proposals.
Independents accounting experts in France (Cabinet SFEC) and Cambodia (Cabinet KAK), certify are finances.
Our philosophy
Within the four countries where we are present, Enfants d’Asie works in collaboration with local orgainzations. These organizations support, coordinate and evaluate the impact of programs which are developed and enhanced by the local community.
This cooperative approach, ensures a full understanding of country needs, contributes to local development via training, and empowers local partners.
The presence of Enfants d’Asie coordinators in the field, and regular missions by administrators in the country, ensure quality control and follow-up on investments and activities.
Education : A priority for Enfants d’Asie
The access to education is a fundamental right written in the International Convention of Rights for Children (article 28). An education gives each child the means to become an autonomous adult and a responsible participant in the development of his or her country.
Enfants d’Asie programs offer children and adolescents the opportunity of a different future, one which gives them an active role in outcome of their own lives.
Even though Enfants d’Asie programs remains centered on education for the youngest, the association equally supports education and training for adolescents. In our 4 countries of intervention, Enfants d’Asie gives grants for career training and higher learning to almost 500 students.
The challenges are common: direction, education costs, difficulty inserting into the professional domain, etc.
In order to encourage personal initiative, Enfants d’Asie has also developed micro-financing programs for young adults.
To ensure that schooling remains their principle focus, the organization develops numerous programs to support essential needs of children: medical care, housing, nutrition, and first-aid products.
