Monaco, 9 and 10 April 2015: AMADE Mondiale’s annual plenary session was held in order to assess the ongoing programmes, and draw up new perspectives of cooperation.
AMADE Mondiale adopted in 2013, year of its 50th anniversary, a new strategy reaffirming the organisation’s vision: that is, a world wherein children can live with dignity, security and the respect of their fundamental rights regardless of their social origins, religion or cultural background. That of a world wherein every child can freely express his/her potential.
The general assembly brought together members of AMADE Mondiale’s Administrative Council as well as the representatives of national branches. Since 2013 AMADE Mondiale has donated a total of 1.124.603 € in favour of fifteen programmes for the protection of children against violence, exploitation and abuses, access to education, access to healthcare or in favour of children refugees or victims of natural catastrophes.
The commitment covers four continents (i.e., Europe, Africa, Asia and South America) and is made possible thanks to the global AMADE network and the privileged partnerships with international organisations.
AMADE Mondiale’s Administrative Council under the presidency of HRH The Princess of Hanover, Caroline of Monaco, equally decided to increase its intervention in the domain of rare diseases. Hitherto the focus has been given to research against pediatric cancers, the care of inherited metabolic diseases in Chile but now shall also cover the fight against sickle cell anemia in Niger.
A couple of days after the plenary session Monaco’s Princely Palace announced the birth in London on 12 April 2015 of India Casiraghi, daughter of The Princess of Hanover’s eldest son Andrea Casiraghi and her consort Tatiana Santo Domingo. India is their second child after Sasha born in 2013.
