PADEM

Padem was created in 2002. It is both Luxembourg and French. Its original aim was to help the most disadvantaged children: that's how Padem got its name. But the directors soon realized that the lives of the children could not be improved in a consistent and lasting way without improving those of their families. That's why today Padem aims to encourage a holistic approach to a problem.
The beneficiaries are: first and foremost, children and their families. In general, any person or group of people who are vulnerable or do not enjoy respect for their most basic rights: disabled people who are discriminated against, battered women who are deprived of their freedom, teenage girls who are forced into marriage, children with cancer who are not treated, young girls from rural areas who do not have access to education, entire villages deprived of water, underpaid workers, poorly housed families, children withdrawn from school to work, exploited farm workers, children forced to beg.
