Yolaine Guérif is the General Director of PARTAGE avec les enfants du monde, an international solidarity organization. Her social mission focuses on promoting children's rights around the globe.

PARTAGE avec les enfants du monde was born over 50 years ago from a revolt against the plight of children in Vietnam. " Seeing that children on the other side of the world could be victims of wars and conflicts created by adults gave a militant strength to our organization », recounts Yolaine Guérif. « This is what drives us even 50 years later, trying to fight against the injustice that children face simply because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time ».

Today present in 17 countries, including France, the non-governmental organization (NGO) advocates for a comprehensive approach to children's rights, with education as the entry point. But PARTAGE also systematically focuses on nutrition and health, and supports communities in their economic and social development. The NGO also fights against inequalities between girls and boys, supports children with disabilities, and addresses the consequences of climate change, as the most affected countries are not those that caused it.

" Our uniqueness lies in systematically working with national and local NGOs in the countries where we operate, who know the legislation very well, have access to children, and are there for the long haul. Of course, we will provide direct aid to the children impacted by our actions, but we will also ensure that a local and national civil society is present to maintain a connection and strengthen this civil society that acts closest to the children », emphasizes Yolaine Guérif.

PARTAGE supports nearly 220,000 children in these 17 countries, which includes just over 500 schools. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), approximately 272 million children are out of school worldwide, and just over 35 million suffer from malnutrition. " So as soon as a citizen, a state considers that this state of inequality is unacceptable, international solidarity is a way to help reverse these trends. It also allows us to witness, to show, to act on these inequalities. Therefore, we are very strongly convinced that by acting in our international solidarity programs, we have an impact on the direction our world can take tomorrow », concludes Yolaine Guérif.
