We believe that we can share our knowledge and expertise about the exchange of knowledge between the southern and northern countries and southern countries between themself. We gained this knowlege through our actions of reinforcement of the civile society, especially the countries of south mediterranean.
We can put in common our respective knowledge and evolve together to reach an optimal way of working.
We want to join the ALF Network in purpose to share and learn from the other members of the Network. We do want to be able to grow up and to use the experience of the other members to improved our work and our intervention.
We also see in ALF the opportunity to increase the knowledge of people arounf the question of street children and to build some new partnership, in order to help these street children and vulnerable children.
