ABOUT US
Intervention context
The Association for the social reintegration of the underprivileged (APRED) was founded in 2001. The circumstances that led to its creation are as follows :
- The growing impoverishment of the population in general, and of women and children in rural areas in particular.
- The difficulties experienced by the majority of the population in accessing the basic necessities of life.l
- Lack of access to education for the majority of the population, etc.
It was with a view to restoring hope to vulnerable groups such as women, indigenous people, orphans and other vulnerable children, that a group of men and women laid the groundwork for an ardent campaign through the formation of APRED.
