Founded in 1963 on the initiative of Princess Grace of Monaco, AMADE is based on a vision: that of a world where all children, regardless of their social, religious or cultural origins, can live with dignity, in safety, in respect for their fundamental rights.

That of a world where every child has the opportunity to fully express their potential.

The founding bases of AMADE's commitment to children are the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CIDE) adopted by the United Nations in 1989, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015 by the international community. in order to fight against poverty.

AMADE contributes to the implementation of these commitments by setting itself the following missions:

• Protect the most vulnerable children against violence, exploitation and abuse.
• Promote the development of children by contributing to access to education and health.
• Accompany change by carrying out advocacy actions.
