Welcome

"Wherever men and women are condemned to live in poverty, human rights are violated.
To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty."
Joseph WRESINSKI- Founder of the International Movement ATD Fourth World

ATD Fourth World has been working in Europe and in other regions of the world to enable people living in extreme poverty to gain access to their fundamental rights, to a voice in society and to opportunities to contribute to the decision-making process, on issues that directly affect them as well as on wider issues for society.

From a strong grass-roots presence, ATD Fourth World works in partnership with governments and NGOs to create the conditions necessary for people in extreme poverty to become active partners in the development of modern society.
