Health / Fight against neglected diseases
In Chile, every year, 1100 cases of children with metabolic diseases are officially diagnosed. However, and due to a lack of information and a late diagnosis, these data are more important. AMADE Chile - in collaboration with AMADE Mondiale- supports the most disadvantaged families to access appropriate treatment and food. AMADE also commits to the benefit of the research against pediatric cancer in Europe.

AMADE Mondiale (AMADE) was founded in 1963 according to the wishes of Princess Grace. AMADE is based on a vision: a world where every child, whatever his social, religious or cultural origins are, would have the capacity to live with dignity and security, his fundamental rights fully respected.
A world where every child would have the opportunity to fulfill his potential.
AMADE Mondiale’s missions are to:
• Protect the most vulnerable children against violence, abuse and exploitation;
• Foster the development and well-being of children through access to health and education;

Since a mission trip in Benin, the association CEP has had the will to achieve the construction and sustainability of an orphanage in this emerging country, where the infant and maternal death rate is high.
The first building (250m2) was inaugurated in February 2014.
The second was inaugurated in May 2017.
In February 2018 we built a pedagogic farm . It will help children obtaining a diploma in agronomy, and it will help for sustaining the orphanage by feeding it.
We can afford 32 children from age 3 to 17, and two couples in charge of the direction and of the education and a watchman for security purposes, are receiving accommodation.
Food autonomy is partially ensured by a small farmland comprising the production of cereals, fruits and vegetables and some chickens.
We need to earn an bigger land for agricultural farming: what we collect we can eat a part and sell a part to buy other seeds and plants.
The durability of this project will be partly dependent on the sponsorship of the orphans.
We are actively and constantly looking for sponsors and financial partners.
In fact, our next goal is to keep on building the 3 next dormitories to welcome, with time, 108 children.

After an emergency operation in 2012, the Monaco Red Cross started an important programme to strengthen the resistance of the populations during food shortages.
In the Philippines, after the Haiyan typhoon, the victims could rely on the manual pumps installed by Philippines Red Cross. The Monaco Red Cross issued immediately an appeal for funds which led to a total collection of some €460.000.
The outbreak of Ebola in Western Africa arose an immediate action and an important financial participation to support the operations in the affected countries.
Neutrality, impartiality, and independence: more than 660 demonstrators and members of security forces received first aid care by the Ukrainian Red Cross during the winter 2012-2013. In Russia an appeal for funds was issued to support the Ukrainian Red Cross.
