| What we do and why |
|
We believe in the multiplying power of goodness. Each opportunity given to a child, adolescent or young person in a situation of risk represents an important step in their development and contribution to a better social and economic situation for their family and community. Equally important in this respect are the groups of producers and arisans which Onda Solidaria helps to produce and distribute their goods through the international constructs of ‘Fair Trade’ We develop, execture and monitor projects which nurture self-assistance, always offering opportunities for those involved to construct their own independence.
