Our association trains and supports rural populations in precarious situations so that they can ensure their food security and improve their quality of life in a sustainable and autonomous way. In Africa and Latin America, our teams work daily in the field to promote sustainable family farming and responsible eating. Many of our initiatives are also aimed specifically at supporting women.
We are currently working in Burkina Faso, Benin, Tanzania, Uganda and Peru.
One of the main focuses of Iles de Paix's work is training, with the aim of helping people to take control of their own destiny and take charge of their own development over the long term.
