Art.1:
The first human right is the right to a childhood.
Approach
Making a difference is at the heart of all Children Action's commitments.
The Foundation intervenes and supports projects that aim to have a long-term positive impact on the lives of the beneficiaries.
Children Action is not a grant-making foundation. The Foundation runs its own programs or works with partners on the strategic development, implementation, and monitoring of projects.
It also acts as an incubator and catalyst for projects with the aim of accelerating the implementation of initiatives, replicating successful programs, or transforming innovative ideas into concrete actions.
01
Address a need
The Foundation is committed to addressing clearly identified humanitarian needs, taking into account the motivation, skills, and ethics of local teams, as well as the project’s impact on beneficiaries.
02
Each project aims to bring about tangible change in the lives of the beneficiaries in the short, medium, and long term.
03
Surrounded by the best professionals
Children Action’s decisions and strategic direction are determined by the Board of Trustees and supported by an Ethics Committee, both of which are composed of leading figures from the scientific, medical, and business communities. Project evaluation, implementation, and monitoring are carried out by recognized experts in their fields. Surgeons, psychiatrists, physicians, and other specialists contribute their skills and expertise to ensure the most appropriate care.
04
Multiply resources
For each project, a collaborative environment is established to increase the availability of the resources needed to implement the programs. Through this system—which leverages local partnerships, the involvement of volunteer teams, donations of equipment, pro bono services from benefactors, and cost optimization—the value of projects funded by the Foundation is tripled on average.

Governance

The evaluation, implementation, and monitoring of projects are carried out by recognized experts in their field. Surgeons, psychiatrists, physicians, and other specialists use their skills and expertise to provide the most appropriate care.
Leverage
All the salaries of the Children's Action headquarters and all the administrative costs are covered by the Founder and his family foundation, so that the funds raised can be used 100% for actions in the field.
In addition, a participatory environment is developed for each project in order to increase the contribution of resources needed to implement the programmes. Thanks to this system, the value of the projects financed by the Foundation is multiplied by an average of three through local partnerships, the involvement of volunteer teams, donations of equipment, pro bono services from benefactors and cost optimisation. Through local partnerships, the involvement of volunteer teams, donations of equipment, pro bono services from benefactors and cost optimisation, the value of the projects funded by the Foundation is on average multiplied by three.
